We are so proud of Rick and Nikil and the campaigns they ran, with the leadership of Amanda McIllmurray, Nikil’s campaign manager and Pele IrgangLaden, Rick’s campaign manager. Their campaigns responded to multiple crises by incorporating mutual aid into their campaigns and taking leadership in their communities when leadership was sorely missed.

The Coronavirus pandemic has created both a public health and fiscal crisis for the City of Philadelphia. The City Controller’s Office reported possible declines in tax revenues between $344 million and $674 million over the next two years. Black and Brown communities in the city have historically been underfunded and most impacted by austerity measures. Now more than ever, our communities need deep investment that support working families- not cuts that reduce city services.

In this moment of danger, uncertainty, and the disruption of normal life, Reclaim Philadelphia’s highest priorities are the health, safety, and security of every member of our community. As the COVID-19 virus spreads across our world, our country, and our city, we are turning to each other for support and solutions. And so, we are expanding our electoral and policy organizing to include mutual aid work. We are in this together.

The severity of the public health and economic crisis we face right now requires a solution that works for all of us. Reclaim Philadelphia demands a rent and mortgage cancellation today, and a Homes Guarantee for Philadelphia tomorrow!

Thank you, Senator Bernie Sanders.

We have been inspired and engaged by the Bernie Sanders campaign and his bold push to transform the lives of working people everywhere. Today, we are deeply saddened by the suspension of his campaign. We are also more grounded in our belief that building power is how we will win the world we deserve.
