HB144 is a game changer for Philly youth. 💙
This bill expands youth diversion keeping young people connected to school, family, and community instead of courtrooms and cells. Research shows that diversion reduces reoffending, strengthens public safety, and costs a fraction of incarceration.
HB144 could give more than 9,300 PA youth a fair chance to grow, heal, and move forward.
📣 Contact your State Rep and urge a YES vote on HB144. Our kids deserve better options.

The artists at SCI Phoenix show how creativity can spark change by transforming their experiences into powerful artwork that creates space for restoration and second chances.
This week, we partnered with @MuralArts for our annual Art Sale, a two-day event featuring more than 100 works created by currently and formerly incarcerated artists. Proceeds from each piece directly support re-entry programs for returning citizens, helping to reduce barriers and expand opportunities.
S/O to @Suavegonzalez215 for sharing his story and shedding light on the impact of the Restorative Justice program with @MuralArts.
We appreciate everyone who came out and supported this important work. 💛

S/O to our Immigration Counselor, Whitney Viets, for her important interview with @phillyinquirer . ICE’s near-daily courthouse activity threatens the safety, trust, and accessibility our justice system depends on.
Public engagement and oversight are crucial.⚖️✨
Our office continues to work diligently to provide the resources and support needed to confront this issue. Learn more at the link in our bio.

Today, we are proud to stand in solidarity with @noicephilly as they rally to demand the removal of ICE from CJC courtrooms. No one should have to fear detention or deportation simply for seeking justice.
Immigration and criminal legal issues are deeply intertwined, and even minor convictions can have life-altering consequences for non-citizens. That’s why we are actively expanding our efforts to strengthen immigration support for our clients.

Chief Defender Keisha Hudson continues to elevate the issues that matter most as DA Larry Krasner enters his third term.✨⚖️
Immigration justice must remain front and center. Undocumented Philadelphians deserve to seek help, attend court, and participate in the justice process without fear of ICE encounters. When people don’t feel safe coming forward, our entire city is impacted.
Read Keisha’s full take in her latest article in @phillyinquirer — link in bio.
