Church Member Beth Logue's Letter to the Editor in the Philadelphia inquirer

Church member Beth Logue has been working with POWER Interfaith's Education Justice to advocate that every child in Pennsylvania have access to a good, justly-funded education. (Learn more about POWER's campaign here.)

On November 7, The Philadelphia Inquirer published her letter to the editor in requesting Gov. Shapiro to release funds for the coninuation of the Whole-Home Repairs Program. The letter is copied below (and you can read the original here).

I hope Gov. Josh Shapiro saw Sunday’s “Crumbling City” article in The Inquirer and will help release the funds being held up for the continuation of the Whole-Home Repairs Program that was started using federal pandemic aid. While he’s at it, he should also release the $100 million in Level Up funding this year for the state’s poorest school districts while we wait for the Pennsylvania legislature to remedy our inequitable funding system of education. These investments would go a long way in giving the poorest Pennsylvanians a chance to stay in their homes and get an adequate and equitable education.
