Hunger Strikers Want Philly's $1B Surplus To Help Struggling Residents
Added:It all started when I found out that the mayor has a 1.1 billion dollar budget surplus.
>> Dang.
>> And when I heard that I thought of all the people I know in the city who are starving and all the unhoused people I see at City Hall and all the rec centers and libraries and schools that are closed and how I have to walk a mile sometimes to get the SEPTA cuz SEPTA doesn't run.
And how the sky was red and how the city is dying and how about how the city is dying but we can live because it's the mayor's job to save lives.
It's the mayor's job to make Philly affordable.
