September 7th rain or shine, more than 1000 people marched down Broad Street in Philadelphia to protest the Drilling in Pennsylvania. The energy that was in the air was unbelievable. People of all races and backgrounds showed up. Some in extreme getups, others just in their ordinary clothes. With a police escort starting on Arch street, the group marched around Center City.
