I hope you have all seen the coverage of Execute Art Not People at The Inquirer and at 215Magazine – and I would like to thank Amnesty International , The Leeway Foundation, Arts America, and The City of Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program for all of their support in getting out the word about the event.
Most of all thank you to everyone that made it out! There were tornadoes and thunderstorms and we still had a packed house. It is everyone that comes to events, has conversations about the issue, and support our work with their volunteer efforts and donations that truly create such momentum in a movement and this is a very exciting time for us – but we also still have much to do!
We are still getting signatures for our petition online- over the weekend we obtained nearly 500 signatures and we have a week to get at least 1,000 to send to Governor Corbett and members of the PA Senate here is a link to our online petition- http://www.change.org/petitions/execute-art-not-people – the online petition has far less signatures than the paper petition so we need help to step up this campaign. Please share and post this petition.
For some photos of our volunteers collecting signatures this weekend check out our tumblr page at www.executeartnotpeople.tumblr.com
Our June meeting is next Tuesday June 12 at The Ethical Society of Philadelphia 1906 Rittenhouse Square.
Thank you all again for your continued support
