Alumnae Cecily Harwitt, Liz Manlin and Rabbi Lauren Grabelle Herrmann have been hard at work organizing congregants in Philadelphia to stand up and demand a living wage for workers at Philadelphia International Airport and a more democratic and transparent school system for all Philadelphians. Their organization, POWER (Philadelphians Organized to Witness Empower and Rebuild) recently held a 3,400 person action around these issues and others. Check out this story covering the action from WHYY in which Rabbi Grabelle Herrmann is quoted.
