The scariest thing this Halloween isn’t ghosts or vampires...it’s the flu! The flu virus spreads quickly and easily and can be especially dangerous for young children. The AAP recommends that all children receive an annual flu vaccine starting at 6 months old to help prevent serious illness and protect communities. Talk with your pediatrician if you have any questions about the flu vaccine.

Philly Joy Bank was covered by CNN!

“It gave a lot of relief because we didn’t always have to think ‘survival,’” she said. “That's what we were used to. That’s what we were counting on. It was nice to kind of stretch that out a little bit and not have those anxieties all the time.”

Philly Joy Bank gives expectant mothers in Philadelphia neighborhoods with high infant mortality rates $1,000 a month. One mom says it brought relief from constantly thinking about “survival.”

We loved to see so many people Paint Philly Purple to show they are with survivors this ! If you are experiencing domestic violence, you are not alone. 💜

Survivors deserve support, solidarity, safety, freedom, and so much more. Visit the link in our bio to find resources for help.

Thank you City of Philadelphia Government employees who wore purple today! Many advocates for survivors also attended, including Congreso de Latinos Unidos, Women Against Abuse, Women In Transition, Lutheran Settlement House, Love shouldn’t Hurt and many more - they support survivors every day. We also loved getting to jump with Philly Girls Jump!
