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

HARRISBURG, May 4 – State Rep. Gina H. Curry, D-Delaware, today announced that her legislation pushing for a Keystone Exam Alternative Feasibility Study passed the Pennsylvania House of Representatives by a bipartisan vote of XX to XXX. Should the state Senate also pass H.B. 1752, the Pennsylvania Department of Education secretary would be tasked with contracting an independent study to determine whether the academic SAT, ACT, and Smarter Balanced high school assessments could be used in place of the 11 th grade Keystone Exams in Pennsylvania. “Since 2012, the Keystone Exams have helped schools and the state and federal government keep track of student subject competency and teaching accountability,” Curry said. “They have also had many pros and cons, and this bill’s intent is to alleviate some of those cons.” According to Curry, one downside to assessments such as the Keystone Exams is the cost of administering them to students. In 2019, a report by the state Auditor General found that while the Keystone Exams cost approximately $17.6 million annually to administer and score for all high school juniors, the cost of administering and scoring the SAT for both juniors and seniors was only $13.3 million per year. “Like the Keystones, the SAT and other college-readiness tests assess student competency of certain subjects – these tests are all largely Read more

HARRISBURG, April 28 – To recognize the historic and ongoing contributions of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, four alumnae of the sorority, state Reps. Lindsay Powell and La’Tasha D. Mayes, both D-Allegheny, Gina H. Curry, D-Delaware, and Morgan Cephas, D-Phila., hosted Delta Day in the state Capitol today. Delta Day is celebrated by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. , which was founded in 1913 by 22 collegiate women on the campus of Howard University. Today, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. is one of the preeminent service-based sororities, with more than 300,000 predominantly Black members and more than 1,000 chapters worldwide. The sorority has maintained a commitment to social activism, academic excellence and civic engagement. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. has 29 chapters in Pennsylvania. On Delta Day, members from throughout the Commonwealth come to the Capitol to connect with elected officials, advance legislation and serve as a voice for others. “It was an honor to welcome sorors from across Pennsylvania to continue our long history of sisterhood, service and leadership to advocate for our communities,” Powell said. “Having even just one voice at the table can be powerful, but the hundreds of us here today prove that our lifelong service to our communities will continue.” “As a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., I am deeply honored to stand alongside everyone here Read more

PA Black Maternal Health Caucus celebrates another successful Black Maternal Health Week at the Capitol Read more
HARRISBURG, April 22 – The Pennsylvania Senate today passed legislation by state Rep. Gina H. Curry, D-Delaware, that will make it easier for more women to access pelvic floor therapy. The bill now heads to the governor’s desk. House Bill 1251 would amend the Physical Therapy Practice Act to allow nurse-midwives to refer their patients for pelvic floor therapy, streamlining the process for their patients. Under current law, only physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants can refer patients for pelvic floor therapy, a type of physical therapy that addresses pelvic floor issues including pain, incontinence, and abdominal muscle problems common after pregnancy and childbirth. This means patients who choose to use a nurse-midwife for obstetric care first need to see one of these approved practitioners before they can get a referral for pelvic floor therapy. “Midwives provide competent, compassionate care to thousands of women each year, and for too long we’ve overcomplicated certain processes by not recognizing their profession as equal to other pre- and post-natal providers,” said Curry. “When a woman chooses to work with a midwife on her birth journey, she should have the same ease of access to related wellness care as a woman who chooses a doctor.” According to Curry, pelvic floor therapy can allow women experiencing pelvic heaviness, pelvic Read more
