As posted in our Facebook group by Nicholas Voluntaryist:
It has just been announced that at the Philadelphia City Council meeting on March 15th, the council will be discussing the proposed legislation to mandate permits and food preparation classes to give donated food to the needy.
Coincidentally, this happens to be the day that Kelly Voluntaryist and myself at the Philadelphia Liberty Lobby have decided to feed the homeless inside City Hall during the meeting!
What perfect timing!
Spread the word! Especially to the homeless!
When: Thursday, March 15, 9:00AM
Where: Philadelphia City Hall
What: Meal sharing in front of the City Council to show them how we feel about this bill!
Please contact me to let me know if you can help in any way! We will need help promoting the event, raising the supplies, and getting a big turnout to speak in opposition to this tyrannical legislation!
I am very excited to announce that I have taken activism on the road in conjunction with We Won’t Fly and Occupy Philadelphia to bring the Philly Liberty Lobby to the city of brotherly love.
We will begin on Friday with a Don’t Strip Our Rights event at 5PM at the Philadelphia airport! You can learn more and/or join the event here on Facebook. Nicholas Voluntaryist Shankin and I will be will be engaging in scantily-clad public outreach to address the violations of natural rights committed daily by the TSA.
Then, we shall begin work on #OperationFeedTheHomeless.
Here in Philadelphia, there is a city proposal on the table that would require people to obtain a permit before feeding the hungry outdoors. #OperationFeedTheHomeless is an effort to bring this issue to light through non-compliance while at the same time helping those in need. We hope to feed hundreds of people in need throughout next week at a city council meeting (date TBA) as well as at various other events in Philadelphia.
People often ask me how I discovered the ideas of liberty. Like many others, I was taught about government in school using state approved curriculum; which never mentions the ideas of liberty, self ownership, and personal responsibility. In addition, I was raised in a extremely liberal area, which gave me a socially acceptable set of morals that included support of government social/welfare programs. This was not because I disliked the idea of private charity and personal compassion; but rather, I believed it to be the only method of mass charity (the ability to fund care for many people at once). It was my experience in trying to use these social programs which led me to discover the ineffective, wasteful, and harmful effects they create. They didn’t help people. They gave those suffering the bare minimum for survival, but wasted so much time, and came with so many requirements, that those the government “helped” would never be able to move forward. They would become dependent on the system for survival, which skews this “help” to be thought of as a “right”… because obviously everyone feels they have a right to life. (more…)
Liberty activists in Philadelphia organized a charity event last week. They assembled grocery bags filled with food for 20 hungry families in Philadelphia. It was an inspiration to witness. Enjoy!
In this video Derrick and I (Rapsher) discuss and partake in Robin Hooding. One of our motivating factors is, like most people in the community, we’ve been compromised into paying various fees associated with driving. Robin Hooding is one way we believe we can neutralize our karma for paying a criminal agency. So, we’re not personally getting our money back, but we are preventing others in the community from having their money stolen from them by the city with parking tickets. We encourage you to do this in your city, or just come to Keene NH and join in the fun here.
