Green Party of Philadelphia will be hosting a presidential forum at 3074 Kensington Ave on 1/23/2024. Doors will open at 6:30, the forum will begin at 7. It will be hosted at the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign Office. The Divest Philly From War Machine Coalition will also be presenting at the event. There will be a screen to watch outside if there is an oversized crowd. Food will be distributed for people who need it. This event is supposed to get presidential candidates directly in front of people who have been historically excluded from the political system and let people be indoors for a little bit. The event will also be held on zoom

RUST does not endorse a political party. RUST supports mutual aid and empowerment. Just wanted you to know a really important event is about to happen and we need you to listen to voices that won't massacre civilians and who want to speak directly to people most impacted by our political and economic system. Whether that is an independent, a Green, a Socialist, etc. We need more options presented to the people. We hope this event brings growth to a movement of voices excluded from the political and economic system.

We regret to tell you that following the event that we mentioned, one of the staffers for one of the campaigns tragically had passed. Sarina Mihailoff is a Transgender and Disability rights activist who fell and later tragically passed in their hotel room. Their family is unable to afford to transport Sarina home from Philadelphia to Massachusetts or cover burial services. Please consider donating.
