    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA : POOR PEOPLE’S ECONOMIC HUMAN : RIGHTS CAMPAIGN, : : Plaintiff, : : v. : : CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, : : Defendant. : : COMPLAINT INTRODUCTION 1. The nominating convention of one of our country’s two major political parties presents an unparalleled opportunity for individuals and organizations to participate in the democratic process through the exercise of their rights of free speech and assembly. The Democratic National Convention (“DNC”) in late July will draw thousands of delegates, as well as the Democratic Party’s major campaign contributors, lobbyists, and both credentialed and uncredentialed members of the media. It will thus provide an opportunity for groups and individuals to voice their opinions directly to the leaders and decision-makers of the Democratic Party, to national and international media, and to people across the country and around the world who will watch Convention coverage. 2. Plaintiff Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign (“PPEHRC”) is a social justice coalition that wants the visitors and Convention attendees to hear about, see, and 1 understand the poverty that afflicts Philadelphia. On the opening day of the Republican National Convention in 2000, PPEHRC and thousands of poor residents of the city marched from City Hall to the Wells Fargo Center in order to confront the nation’s political leaders with the necessity of taking action to address poverty. PPEHRC believes that the plight of the poor in Philadelphia has only worsened since 2000, and PPEHRC and its members seek to repeat their march from the seat of Philadelphia government to the doorstep of the DNC on the opening day of the Convention to confront the Democratic Party leadership with the continuing failure of the government to address the suffering of poor people.

  • Cities: Policing Strategies at Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Philadelphia
    YODER FORMATTED.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 8/21/2012 5:50 PM A TALE OF TWO (OCCUPIED) CITIES: POLICING STRATEGIES AT OCCUPY WALL STREET AND OCCUPY PHILADELPHIA TRACI YODER* New York City - October 1, 2011 I’m standing on the walkway of the Brooklyn Bridge, peering down and trying to get a better glimpse of the scene unfolding beneath me. Hundreds of people are gathered below. From each direction, lines of police advance. “They’re going to mass arrest them,” shout many of the hundreds watching from above. Helplessly, we gaze down as our fellow demonstrators are cuffed and carried away. The mood on the walkway is tense. Assessing our situation, it becomes obvious that we too are trapped. The cables of the bridge suddenly look a lot like a cage. Figure 1: NYPD surround and mass arrest Occupy Wall Street protestors on the Brooklyn Bridge.

The crowd thins considerably, and it looks like we will be allowed to leave. We meet up with a hundred other people in a Brooklyn park—a mere fraction of the thousands that had set off from Zuccotti Park hours before. It starts to rain. As more people trickle into the park, an impromptu general assembly is called to decide on next steps. In the fifteen minutes I sit listening, police begin encircling the area. My friend and I head back to Zuccotti to regroup and gather word * Traci Yoder is currently the Student Organizer and Researcher/Writer for the National Lawyers Guild in NYC.
