in Center City. Sharing
their joy are their children

“When our community becomes our own activists
and advocates, our legislators can’t avoid listening to
us and, in this case, investing in our safety and that
of our children,” Teach PA Executive Director Arielle
Frankston-Morris said. “We thank Gov. [Tom] Wolf
and our legislators for creating these programs, but
with the increase in hate crimes we are seeing across
the country, specifically attacks against Jews, we are
urging them to increase the security funding in a
meaningful way so that more institutions will have
access to these critical funds.”
