The United States has some excellent organising traditions and practices we would do well to learn from here in the UK

Today the No Arena coalition let everyone know what we think about the Center City Sixers arena no longer haunting our city. This coalition is made up of people from all across the city, from all different backgrounds, who came together to fight for a city that works for everyone

My statement with @NicORourkePHL on the news about the arena:
No Arena In Chinatown Solidarity retweeted
This was always bigger than one arena or one neighborhood. We celebrate that Chinatown is safe for now, but nobody’s home is safe as long as billionaire developers are planning our city and politicians are playing their game.

Funny to see naïveté automatically associated with celebration.
No one is more educated on the corporate forces shaping this fight than the activists who have spent years educating the public on the 76ers’ bad-faith effort.
Thank you for everything, @NACSphilly!

We said the arena would never be built in Chinatown, and we were right

City Council approved the Sixers’ proposal over the overwhelming objections of the city’s planning and design community, the surrounding neighborhoods, and dozens of organizations. This is a bad deal. I want to be clear that I will not support state funding for this project. 1/2

The arena is a bad deal for Philly and will have irrevocable impacts on the Chinatown community.
As a legislator, I will continue to oppose spending state dollars on this project and fight for the proposals we truly need to invest in our city and push back against displacement.

How did sporting arenas get to be the magical solution to all our urban problems? inquirer.com/politics/philad…
🚨 This Thursday, City Council will vote on the Sixers arena deal & a CBA (community benefits agreement) that’s a slap in the face to Philly. As schools close & SEPTA hikes fares, Council is giving away our future to billionaires.
Philly deserves real protections & real money!
🚨 Here’s how YOU can help:
1️⃣ Show Up Thursday, December 19 at 8AM
📍 City Hall – Pack the room and tell Council we won’t accept this sellout deal!
2️⃣ Call & Email Your Councilmembers
Tell them to VOTE NO on this toxic CBA.

This deal isn’t a victory—it’s a betrayal! Let’s demand a better deal for Philly families. 💪 #NoArena

Call your City Councilors TODAY before the final vote this week. Let’s make it clear: We’re not giving up, we’re doubling down.
Our City Council and Mayor must put everyday Philadelphians over billionaire profits.

Let em know: Council cannot vote yes on such a terrible deal. #NoArena

They don't have the votes. Everyone can see this deal is a disgrace. #NoArena
