Sunday Night Film Series “Battle For Broad”

This documentary follows the work of the Kensington Welfare Rights Union, capturing the tension and excitement of four days in the summer of 2000 leading up to the Republican National Convention. With the eyes of the world upon them, poor and homeless people gathered under the banner of the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign to take on the Philadelphia police in a battle to hold an un-permitted march against poverty on the Convention’s opening day.

Following the film there will be a panel of speakers to talk more about the film, the experience of organizing the 2000 March, how our communities have fared during these past 4 years, and plans for a March For Our Lives on opening day of this summer’s Republican National Convention in New York City. Speakers include Cheri Honkala founder of KWRU and national coordinator of the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, Henry Nicholas, Pres. of National Union of Hospital & Health Care Employees, Liz Ortiz Chair of KWRU’s local organizing committee, & Sara Forgione, KWRU Chief of Staff.
