There’s a lot of fear in Philly right now. People are hearing stories—neighbors getting picked up, ICE showing up at doors again. Some people are afraid to go to work, to send their kids to school, or even to open the door.
People in Philly have always spoken up; for justice, for safety, for their neighborhoods. Whether it’s marching in the street, gathering at City Hall, or holding a sign on the corner, protest is part of how we make change.
Storytelling holds an irreplaceable place in Black culture, serving as a vital means of preserving history, ancestry, and heritage.
