White Dog Cafe Viewing of Battle For Broad
July 11, 2004

This past Sunday evening the White Dog Cafe hosted a free screening of the KWRU film Battle For Broad

As many of our web readers know, 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.

The film played to a packed house of supporters and national coordinator, Cheri Honkala spoke following the film. Cheri addressed questions from the audience with a focus on how our community has fared in the past four years and of our plans for a March For Our Lives on opening day of this summer's Republican National Convention in New York City. Her comments were well received by those in attendance, with many guests making donations and committing to march with us this August 30th.

And we would like to thank Grace Wicks of the White Dog Cafe for her continued support and work towards making this event the success it was!
