LIHEAP Hearing 7/5/2017 Free Library of Philadelphia 1901 Vine Street
Channel: Alicia Dorsey
Date: 06/07/2017

DHS held a public hearing about proposed cuts to LIHEAP based on cuts coming from our federal government. PECO, PGW, Community Legal Services, ESWA and a few other organizations gave comments opposing the cuts. These cuts are another attack on vulnerable families our country needs to stop breaking our families up, stop destroying residential communities only to build rape culture prison communities. #WeWillNotGoBack
