Today the No Arena coalition let everyone know what we think about the Center City Sixers arena no longer haunting our city. This coalition is made up of people from all across the city, from all different backgrounds, who came together to fight for a city that works for everyone

This is a damning of democracy and they should be ashamed of themselves. Not one apology was given to Philadelphians from any of them. The arrogance and brovado displayed lacked the humanity and consideration that should be expected of our leaders. Real leadership demands of honesty and humility. We didn't get that at this absurd and bizzare press conference today.

On the 76ers news conference: The fact that Mayor Parker & Council Pres Johnson didn't acknowledge they have egg on their faces and, even more importantly, didn't acknowledge the pain & turmoil the Chinatown community was put through as a result of this process is mind-boggling🧵

This is what happens when you let billionaires control your urban planning and buy your government officials and politicians. They get what they want and screw over everyone else. Love to see the politicians spin this one... inquirer.com/news/philadelph…

The 76ers have struck a deal with Comcast Spectacor to stay in South Philly and abandon plans for a...

The deal comes just weeks after a grueling legislative battle in which the Sixers convinced City Council to give it the green light to move to Center City.

There is more news we are expecting to come out in the coming hours and days, but for now let's celebrate because they will not be building an arena in the heart of our city! #NoArena #SaveChinatown share.inquirer.com/Rgl0ju

“I’m so livid right now I don’t even know what to do,” said Jimmy Harrity, an at-large member of City Council who supported the team’s move to East Market Street.

stop the lies. it is obvious that anyone, including union workers, saying a sixers arena will bring "more business" to chinatown are prioritizing TEMPORARY work in building the arena but leaving out that it will carelessly DESTROY the surrounding area. #NoArena #SaveChinatown

She hid our reply, so let's say it here: This is a sellout deal and you know it @cmninaahmad. You caved to billionaires, sold out the people you claimed to represent, and barely got two dimes to rub together for it. What an embarrassment.
Councilmember Dr. Nina Ahmad (At-Large)@cmninaahmad12 Dec 2024
Compromise can lead to meaningful progress. I worked tirelessly to include meaningful amendments to the proposed Sixers arena package and introduced a bill today to establish a Community Land Trust to protect Chinatown from unchecked development. My statements below.

Maybe they were rushing this vote because they are afraid we will get those documents in appeal and it looks baaaad. Co flint of interest is popping up everywhere.

The Shift has sent an urgent letter to Mayor @PeopleforParker about the proposed 76 Place arena. The proposed arena threatens to displace and disrupt a historic neighborhood that has been a vibrant cultural hub for generations. 1/ bit.ly/3ZLSoX6

Replying to @CouncilmemberJG @RuePhilaCouncil
With all due respect, this is not correct. The coalition has been in intense dialogue w/ CMs Brooks, Young & O’Rourke & have made clear that any deal short of $300M hurts all of Philly We ask you & @RuePhilaCouncil to support your colleagues & fight for the communities you serve
