It’s a beautiful thing to be able to spread the love, give back to our community, and help feed the people. Yesterday it was an honor to join @bethanyhallam.bsky.social, Man-E, Tanisha Long, and our advocates to give back to our unsheltered community. As Mayor, I’m here to serve ALL the people!

People talk so much shit on the people who actually do the work but what I witnessed tonight was a full theater of unhoused people and allies sitting together watching a film on solving homelessness and sharing a meal. Thank you @bethanyhallam.bsky.social and @man-eternally.bsky.social 👏🏾

Being an addict shouldn’t be a death sentence. Addicts can and do recover, but they need the tools to do so. Advocates like Councilwoman @bethanyhallam.bsky.social worked hard to make life saving medication to treat opioid use disorder available in Allegheny County Jail.

We are in the heart of Fish Fry season and @bethanyhallam.bsky.social has been hitting up as many as she can. We talked about what makes Pittsburgh fish fries great and she offered up some expert advice. www.axios.com/local/pittsb...

County Councilwoman @bethanyhallam.bsky.social knows that I will always show up for people who’ve never seen a politician show up for them, listen to them, and give them a seat at tables where decisions are made. Join her today and help us build a Pittsburgh for all: Go.GaineyForMayor.com/volunteer

This long fight was won by @bethanyhallam.bsky.social. If the county is going to jail people for substance use (which they shouldn't, but do), they are obligated to provide medical care to treat those at high risk of serious withdrawal & then deadly overdose after release www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

Council members Grzybek and Hallam were fiery speaking out against making an appointment to represent all of Allegheny County without notifying any member of the public. Nice to see Democrats not fall into a “go along to get along” mentality. www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...

I was deeply honored by the recognition of the Allegheny County Council this week for my 30 years of TV on KDKA-TV. Especially appreciated the bipartisan comments. Thanks to all 15 members, especially cosponsors Sam DeMarco @bethanyhallam.bsky.social & Bob Macey!

Councilperson Filiaggi asked all the Republicans to stand up with her to wish Sam Demarco farewell and no one came. @bethanyhallam.bsky.social gave proper send off. #countycouncil

"Our neighbors understand that Inclusionary Zoning is common sense and that everyone should benefit from new housing opportunities as a neighborhood grows."

“Hallam said she’s aware of “numerous people” who’ve waited days after being arrested to continue their MOUD, which could lead to a painful and unnecessary detox. “That is definitely still a hold up and an obstacle in the process that I’m sure is able to be overcome, but hasn’t been yet.” “

"Joe Biden is an old-time Zionist who never quite understood the Israel he admired had given way to something that would've appalled the nation’s social democratic founders, for which reason he never put the force of stopping the flow of arms behind his efforts to get a cease-fire" -Harold Meyerson

History has shown that we cannot arrest or jail our way out of societal issues. It’s about time our leaders invest in community based preventative measures for the betterment of us all.

I don’t do polite politics that require us to dance around the truth in favor of keeping the peace. I don’t want to sit at a table where people can’t call a genocide a genocide. I don’t want to debate whether racism is racism. I don’t want to exchange truth for comfort.

This was such a fun show. And I spotted Allegheny County Councilwoman @bethanyhallam.bsky.social joyfully dancing in the aisle afterward.

Our county jail recently expanded access to MOUD. I looked into its process, which included 3 a.m. wake-up calls that one advocate called "psychologically torturous." My story made this list of the best investigative journalism about incarceration in 2024. www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/12...

I’m immensely proud of @barb4pgh.bsky.social and @debgrosspgh.bsky.social for stepping up and pushing back against another harmful pro-developer bill being shopped around as a solution to a housing affordability crisis.

Allegheny Cnty Council limited agenda-related comments to one minute per speaker. If members don't want to hear what citizens have to say, they shouldn't be on the council. The only ones who care: ☆ Anita Prizio ☆ @bethanyhallam.bsky.social ☆ @dangrzybek.bsky.social ☆ Michelle Naccarati-Chapkis

Incredibly grateful that @bethanyhallam.bsky.social is using her time to correctly point out how our county’s budget got to this “fiscal dumpster fire”. We got here after YEARS of former Exec Fitzgerald kicking the can down the road, and mentioning that a better taxing system IS possible!
