SUMMARY:This Monstrous Law! Robert and Harriet Purvis and the Fugitive Slave Act
DESCRIPTION:he Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia and Millicent Sparks Productions invite the public to witness a performance that portrays three legendary Philadelphians from the city’s rich 19th-century Black history.   \nThis Monstrous Law! Robert and Harriet Purvis and the Fugitive Slave Act is a recreation of a historic protest of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law\, which compelled everyday citizens to assist in capturing enslaved people seeking their freedom. Living history performers portray abolitionists Robert Purvis and Harriet Forten Purvis\, who boldly responded to the inhumane law by rallying local citizens to defy it. A portrayal of celebrated concert singer Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield\, “The Black Swan\,” lends melodic power to the production.

SUMMARY:Love as Action: Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:Love as Action: \nStop War on Venezuela/Resist Authoritarianism \nBearing Witness\, Building Hope \nQuaker public witness has stood in opposition to cruel and authoritarian actions in our country before. It is time for us to show this love in action again. \nPlease join the American Friends Service Committee and Philadelphia area Friends to bear witness and show resistance to our country’s militaristic\, authoritarian actions. \nOn Saturday\, January 17 at 2:00 p.m.\, Friends\, members of other faith communities and people of conscience will gather for one hour of silent public witness at the south facing entrance of Philadelphia City Hall (at Broad Street). \nOur hope is that our presence will give hope to all who see us – to show that we can choose resistance – and remind everyone of our moral obligations to one another. \nOur intent is to gather monthly in communities across the country\, showing our communities love in action as a public witness of our Quaker values in a time of rising fascism. \nJoin us! \nTo find our more about Love as Action nationally and get more resources visit us at afsc.org/love-action
