UPPER DARBY, July 29 – The Delaware County House Delegation today released the following statement on the race-based threats received by Delaware County Sheriff Siddiq Kamara: “The Delaware County House Delegation unequivocally condemns the recent terroristic threats directed at Delaware County Sheriff Siddiq Kamara. There is no place for intimidation, violence or hate against those who choose to serve and live in any community in our county and the state. “Public servants regardless of political party, position or ideology should never be subjected to threats of violence for carrying out their sworn responsibilities, or for their faith, background or culture. An attack or threat against one public official is an attack on the principles of democracy, public service and the rule of law that bind our Commonwealth together. “As members of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, we stand in unwavering solidarity with Sheriff Kamara, his family and the dedicated professionals of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office. We also stand with Delaware County's diverse communities, including our vibrant immigrant communities, who deserve to live free from fear, hate and intimidation. Now that an arrest has been made, those responsible for these terroristic threats must be held fully accountable and a clear precedent must be set that such acts of intimidation and violence against public servants will not be Read more

HARRISBURG, July 15 – On Sunday, the General Assembly passed legislation that will streamline fetal death paperwork for families who experience loss during a midwife-led birth. The bill, introduced by state Rep. Gina H. Curry, D-Delaware, now heads to the governor’s desk to be signed into law. “ This is an important moment for families who choose to have midwife-led birth journeys, or who have limited access to medical doctors because of where they live and the strength of their local healthcare system,” said Curry. “Right now, midwives are not allowed to sign required fetal death reports after a stillbirth delivery or infant death during birth. That means families are being forced to wait through an overly bureaucratic process while they grieve.” Under current law, if a death certificate is needed and no qualifying professional was present during the delivery, the case must be referred to the county coroner for investigation. Qualifying professionals include physicians, certified nurse practitioners, or physician assistants. According to Curry, adding midwives to this list not only streamlines the process, but also alleviates an emotional burden for families while recognizing the professional skills midwives bring to the birthing process. “Imagine going into labor only to experience the death of your expected child and then being asked to sit back and Read more

HARRISBURG, June 3 – The Pennsylvania House of Representatives Children & Youth Committee on Tuesday reported out legislation ( H.B. 434 ) by state Reps. Gina Curry and Carol Kazeem’s that would establish an Ebony Alert System in Pennsylvania dedicated to finding missing Black and Brown youth, including young women and girls. According to the two Delaware County legislators, Black children accounted for 40% of all children under 18 reported missing in the United States in 2023, despite Black Americans comprising only 14% of the nation’s population. Similarly, Black women and girls represent approximately 18% of all missing persons cases while making up just 7% of the population. The lawmakers argue that cases involving missing children of color—particularly Black children—often receive less attention because they are disproportionately classified as runaways . That designation can prevent AMBER Alerts from being issued, reducing the law enforcement and public resources devoted to recovery efforts and limiting media coverage of their disappearances. Lack of media coverage of missing Black children -- just 7% according to one study -- has a devastating impact on the chances of recovery of missing Black children. Media attention raises public awareness and puts law enforcement on alert , resulting in them contributing critical resources to finding children. “Despite making up a significant percentage of missing child cases, Read more
