March 28, members and friends of Quaker Courage joined with about 40,000 other people to march from Philadelphia’s City Hall toward the Art Museum. Our group spread the word about Quaker Courage and our goal to help Penn stand up to the Trump administration.
During the March 28 event we wore fun signs with the Quaker Courage logo, a QR for the petition, our web site address, and a variety of messages including “What’s up, Penn?”, “Fascist fear academic Freedom”, and “‘Without freedom of thought there can be no wisdom.’ — Ben Franklin”
Together we handed out hundreds of flyers explaining the key issues we are watching and requesting signatures on our letter to Penn President J. Larry Jameson and the Board of Trustees.
Within 24 hours of the No Kings 3 rally in Philadelphia, we added about 100 signatures to our letter.
Our next big event will be at Penn’s graduation and alumni weekend. Mark your calendars for May 15 – 18 and watch for more information.
