March for Our Lives

July 25, 2016 – 3pm

South Side of Philadelphia City Hall, Marching South on Broad St.

Join the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign in the fight for economic justice by protesting the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia!

The city will spend thousands of dollars to host this convention for millionaires and billionaires, yet fails to provide for its most vulnerable citizens. Demonstrate that this hypocritical practice is UNACCEPTABLE.

Join us in demanding an end to unemployment, hunger and homelessness; money for education; affordable, accessible housing; living wages; and an end to the prison industrial complex.

Money for the poor not for WAR! Join us in this important march. As we march for our very lives!!

Sign up for the March!!
