Enough is enough. If anyone has any information that could help bring this family justice, you can report it to the 3rd Police District anonymously. We went door to door in the neighborhood around 12th & Fitzwater yesterday afternoon in a pubic safety walk to support neighbors with direct access to resources and let them know they’re not alone and not hostages in their homes, after a 16yr old lost his life to gun violence last week. Some of the organizations that came out to be supportive were the Mayor’s Office of Violence Prevention, DA’s Office & Young Chances Foundation, CeasefirePA, 3rd Police District and advisory council members from the neighborhood, Moms Bonded by Grief, Institute for Development of African American Youth and young men in the program, Hawthorne Empowerment Coalition and community members, and National Workforce Opportunity Network. Bringing access to public safety resources, victims services and support, employment opportunities and programs for young people, and a network of community members looking to help. I’m encouraged to see a community come together like yesterday, but I wish it wasn’t because we lost another young man to senseless gun violence in our streets #putthegunsdown #thisisntnormal

Victim's family, neighbors send message about gun violence
For the last 10 years, Gwendolyn Toler had come to see Samir Walker as family. The 16-year-old spent summer days playing basketball with her grandson at the Palumbo playground on 9th Street in South Philadelphia. And he had grown so fond of her granddaughter that recently she heard the two talking about going to their junior prom together next year.

“Drag and cabaret is a space for permission, right? Let’s be loose, let’s really be ourselves by being someone else. I think Mr. Rogers is a space for permission of feeling.,” - John Jarboe Read more of the WHYY interview at the link below. You Can Never Go Down the Drain is now running through July 1.

Philly cabaret artist offers neighborly homage to Mr. Rogers
"When I was very young, I had a dog that I loved very much. Her name is Mitzi. She got to be old, and she died," confessed Fred Rogers in the 1970 "Death of a Goldfish" episode of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." "When she died, I cried."
