REPORT: Halfway through 2025, Philly has the fewest homicides since the 1960’s

 

Hi folks, it’s Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner.    Philadelphia has recorded the fewest homicides in recent memory this year — a rate of violence that has plummeted to a pace the city has not seen since the 1960s.   And as homicides have fallen, so, too, have shootings. This year the city is on pace to record the fewest number of people shot in the last decade.    The reduction in violence comes as the city’s jail population is near its lowest level in recent memory.   Folks, our policies are working. And people are coming around to what WE have been saying all along: Prevention Matters.    I am so proud of the accomplishments we’ve made over the last few years. And I’m honored by the support I’ve gotten from grassroots supporters like you who were right from the start.    But my GOP-funded opponent, Patrick Dugan, wants to reverse all the progress we’ve made over the last few years. And with Trump’s MAGA donors writing huge check to defeat me this November, I need your help.    Please pitch in $25 or more to help me continue our progress and beat back the Republican insurgency that threatens to send us back to a time when cops acted with impunity and the cycle of crime destroyed our city.

DONATE NOW Our policies are working. But I won’t be satisfied until we’ve finished the job.    Let’s keep fighting,   Larry Krasner   P.S. We have significant debt coming out of this Primary election. Will you pitch in a few bucks to help us fulfill our obligations to campaign staff and pay down debt?   CONTRIBUTE
