2008, Januar 25 - 4:30pm
In observation of the Global Day of Action, poor and homeless families, children, students, teachers and other members of the Kensington Welfare Rights Union (KWRU), a founding member and leading organization in the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign (PPEHRC) in the USA, held a Candlelight Vigil today in the freezing cold at Philadelphia's City Hall.
Los reclamos y las propuestas para las Jornada de Mobilizacion Global en su territorio/en su pais:
After the City Hall vigil, dozens of poor and homeless men, women and children marched though downtown Philadelphia at rush hour to join a vigil at the Army Recruiting Center organized by families of U.S. soldiers who have died in Iraq, Military Families Speak Out (MFSO), and Veterans for Peace in protest of the war in Iraq and the wasting of billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives (Iraqi, Americans and others), while families across the US and worldwide suffer and die without housing, food, health care, heat and water.
In the face of a growing economic crisis and a hotly contested presidential elections, the KWRU and the PPEHRC insist that the US government and all presidential candidates commit to guaranteeing the Human Rights to Health Care, Housing, Food and Education for millions of people suffering and dying without these basic needs in the richest country in the world.
