The People’s Convention in Philadelphia July 23rd Needs Your Financial Support

The People's Convention, will be held on the eve of the Democratic National Convention is the first major grassroots event in Philadelphia on July 23rd 2016 at the historic Arch Street Meeting House at 4th and Arch Street in Philadelphia. Nina Turner will be one of our featured speakers the day of the convention.

Our purpose: To reclaim democracy and ensure our voices are heard. We seek to unite Sanders supporters and other progressives behind a set of shared values and policies to bring about a peaceful Political Revolution.

The People’s Platform: As part of The People's Revolution, we collaborated with many other groups and input from people like you who support progressive policies to create The People’s Platform, an alternative to the platforms of Republican and Democratic Parties, both of which are heavily influenced by lobbyists and corporate interests.

On July 23rd at The People's Convention, hundreds, if not thousands, of people, including Sanders' delegates, will gather together, in person and via live-stream, to engage in political dialogue, forge new relationships, and ratify The People’s Platform. After the convention we will continue to promote our The People’s Platform at the Democratic National Convention in cooperation with Sanders’ supporters. We’ll also seek out candidates that share our beliefs and ask them to adopt and run on our platform.

We are not tied to any one person or party. Our long term goal is to advance a unifying set of ideas, beliefs, and values that we, the people, through the continuing work of existing organizations and newly created volunteer groups, can use to rally around and coordinate all our efforts to make the political revolution a reality.

How You Can Help: We have no big financial sponsors, so we rely entirely on your donations, in any amount, small or large, to fund the cost of renting the venue, providing food and water to all who attend, printing flyers and other costs incurred in holding the event.

Please make a tax-deductible donation in whatever amount you can.

The entire reason we're in all this mess.

Money.
Bombs.

I know it's semantics or PC but I've never liked the term.

We need people, volunteers, passion - hell, we need pizza. And I know that all takes money, but I think we can fight this without the proliferation of money.

We need less money and no more bombs.

However, we are an all volunteer group, all unpaid, and we don't have any big financial supporters. We are only asking for small donations, even as little as $10 or less.

We are looking to raise hopefully another $5k to $10K before the convention. Right now we are a little north of $5k to pay for venue, etc.

On how to sign up? How many people does it allow? Bernie has asked for permits for rallies just before the convention also. Do they coordinate?

No tickets are required. It's being held at a private venue, the Arch Street Meeting House in Philadelphia, so we don't need a permit for use of public space. The event begins at 10 am but I believe registration to get inside starts at 9 am on July 23rd

David Cobb, who ran for President on the Green Party ticket and now heads up movetoamend.org has passed along our invitation to her. We are just waiting to hear back to see if she wants to participate as a speaker and if she can fit us into her schedule.
