Councilmember Jamie Gauthier @councilmemberjg.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Starbucks tells you its plastic cold cups are "widely recyclable," so Beyond Plastics put that claim to the test. Not only were zero cups recycled – many ended up being burned in trash incinerators. Starbucks: stop greenwashing, get serious about sustainability, and stop union-busting! 020
Councilmember Jamie Gauthier @councilmemberjg.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Mayor Parker formally asked City Council to keep burning trash. That means at least 7 more years of toxic air and ash, fueling global warming and respiratory illnesses like asthma and cancer. Ask your Councilmember to vote NO on Mayor Parker's proposed contract with Reworld incinerators. 022

Councilmember Jamie Gauthier @councilmemberjg.bsky.social · 19/05/2026The School Board ignored our warning that rubber-stamping the School District's half-baked facilities master plan would degrade our school system and push families out.

Councilmember Jamie Gauthier @councilmemberjg.bsky.social · 13/04/2026It's common sense to allow Philadelphians to build generational wealth and age in place by adding bonus units (ADUs).

Councilmember Jamie Gauthier @councilmemberjg.bsky.social · 10/03/2026The 3rd Council District is the only one where a majority of residents do not drive to work.
