A little rain couldn’t dampen our 5th Annual Senior Celebration this past weekend! Thanks to all who came out to share a meal, connect with neighbors, and hit the dance floor. And much gratitude to our community partners who showed up with resources and information to support our seniors.

Members of my team and I prepping lunch in the kitchen of the South Philadelphia Older Adult Center! We're wearing latex gloves and smiling.

My letter to Drexel and the Academy of Natural Sciences Board. The museum is of incalculable value to our region and to international scientific and cultural fields. Philadelphia bears a serious responsibility to do everything we can to preserve it at its current location.

A gorgeous morning at Philly’s annual Labor Day Parade. Generations of workers fought for the protections we have today. We honor their victories by continuing this fight until all people have safe working conditions, fair wages, and dignity for our labor.

Senator Saval is standing with members of UNITE HERE Local 634. They are holding a black banner with a design that shows two hands making a heart. At the bottom of the banner is text that reads "The Heart of Philly Public Schools."

Senator Saval is standing with Rep. Elizabeth Fiedler and Rep. Rick Krajewski. Senator Saval has a shirt that says "Union Pride"; Rep. Fiedler is wearing a Phillies' jersey; and Rep. Krajewski is wearing a brown and white striped shirt. Senator Saval and Rep. Krajewski are on either side of Rep. Fiedler and have one fist raised in a gesture of solidarity.

It is unacceptable for a world-class city like ours to allow its major natural history museum to close. We cannot allow it. My statement ⬇️

The text of Senator Saval's statement on the closure of the Academy of Natural Sciences museum. The words are in white on a blue background. Senator Saval's image is in the lower-right corner.

"For nearly two centuries, the museum of the The Academy of Natural Sciences has been the physical embodiment of a commitment to public natural history education. I was outraged to learn of the plans for its closure, both as a long-standing member of the museum and as an elected representative committed to the health and vitality of Philadelphia. It is unacceptable for a world-class city like ours to allow its major natural history museum to close.

The mismanagement of such a treasured asset is a profound insult to the residents of the city and to the incomparable workers and curators at the museum. We cannot allow it."

The text of Senator Saval's statement on the closure of the Academy of Natural Sciences museum. The words are in white on a blue background.

"This museum is a place where generation after generation first became enthralled with our world, and as we face the enormity of the climate crisis and an unprecedented loss of biodiversity, the continuation of the museum’s legacy of marvel and care for the natural world has never been more urgent. Partners from all levels of government must unite in our efforts to see this vital work continue."

The PA Universal Healthcare Act would ensure that all Pennsylvanians and residents of other states who work at least 20 hours per week within our Commonwealth can get comprehensive, high-quality healthcare. My full memo here: www.palegis.us/senate/co-sp...

This year’s budget makes strides to support Pennsylvanians at all moments of their lives, but to truly meet this moment of incredible financial hardship, our constituents need their representatives to be loud, clear, and uncompromising. This is a budget of missed opportunity.

The people of the United States deserve and should expect our highest court to represent the realities of our lives and make decisions that respect our laws.

When we first passed Whole-Home Repairs, we hoped it would offer a blueprint for other states grappling with how to preserve aging housing stock and protect their residents. Today’s passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act shows the realization of this hope.

Senator Nikil Saval @pasenatorsaval.com · 18/06/2026

Our communities have been traumatized by unidentified masked operators kidnapping neighbors and loved ones outside their homes, at their jobs, and off the streets. During this time of terror and chaos, the passage of ICE OUT offers hope.

As federal agents increasingly use force against residents, states must take every action possible to uphold the constitutional rights guaranteed to everyone on US. soil. That’s why Sen.
