Opening Day of the Democratic National Convention
SOUTH SIDE OF PHILADELPHIA CITY HALL, MARCHING DOWN BROAD STREET
This year’s DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION will cost the city of Philadelphia upwards of $60 million, even though the city purports it cannot house its 650 unsheltered homeless people on an average night nor provide fresh food to the 307,000 Philadelphians who have little to no access in their own neighborhoods.
Join us in demanding an end to UNEMPLOYMENT, HUNGER, HOMELESSNESS, and the PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, and in fighting for access to affordable housing, living wages, and a healthcare system that benefits citizens, not corporations.
On both sides of the political aisle, parties have furthered the criminalization and alienation of the poor and homeless – a phenomenon that must end. This march is necessary to demonstrate that poverty-stricken people do not feel represented by the Democratic Party. The party has been labeled as the poor people’s party, but we demand that they earn it.
