Delaware County lawmakers are hoping to pass legislation in honor of Fanta Bility, an 8-year-old girl who was shot and killed by Sharon Hill police officers in 2021.

As City Council negotiates a budget with Mayor Parker, some council members and advocates seek more funding that directly impacts working-class Black and brown Philadelphians.
