His life matters. He should have been able to walk in our city safely. Instead, his family and community are mourning. @PhillyMayor , talk is cheap and your actions will be what your constituents see.

Christopher Cabrera, 38, was also killed Wednesday in Kensington. He was waiting to cross the street when a driver who police believe was under the influence of drugs drove onto the sidewalk and struck him at a high rate of speed. He died at the scene.

When visiting recently, my mom (who lives in DC), said she doesn’t feel safe as a pedestrian here in Philly because the drivers are so erratic and don’t care for the safety of others. She’s sadly so right. May this person’s memory be a blessing. Do something, @PhillyMayor .

Y’all, @AubrieCostello found us this FREE(!) walk-up testing site by the stadiums in South Philly! Did it today, super easy and they have so many appointments available you shouldn’t have to wait as long as some of the other spots: Spread the word!

My husband and I cleaned up nicely for a friend's wedding last night, so I must show the world.

The Boston Marathon is always special, but it was extra special this year for us. Baby Barber is coming at the end of October.
