Wed., April 25 – Friday, April 27 - the National KnowDrones Tour (http://www.knowdrones.com/) comes to the Philadelphia Area. The KnowDrones tour consists of large bomber and surveillance drone replicas, inter-active displays, and forums. The tour is bringing to the public and our congressional representatives the dangerously expanding role and impact of these remote-controlled killing and spying machines on U.S. war policy and domestic civil liberties. The national tour is visiting the home districts of the fifty-five member Congressional Unmanned Systems (Drone) Caucus. U.S. Representative Bob Brady (D, PA District #1, covering much of Philadelphia and Delaware County) is the sole member of the Pennsylvania delegation on the large pro-Drone Congressional Caucus. “The goals of this tour are to end US drone attacks and US wars; and to achieve an international ban on weaponized drones and drone surveillance”, said tour national director Nick Mottern. http://www.brandywinepeace.com/ for more information.

Philly will be celebrating this special May Day with style, in solidarity with other occupies across the continent and people across the world! Plans are still in the works for major events, but they won't happen without each and every one of us pitching in, organizing, outreaching, and enthusiastically creating a May Day worth remembering, in this remarkable year of global uprisings.

ALL DAY: Occupy Philly will strike every bank in the city.

12pm: People's Power March through West Philly starting at 12noon at 52nd & Market. West Philly is being turned into a center of repression: a new juvenile detention center (48th & Haverford), a new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center (41st & Filbert) and a Philadelphia police headquarters relocating from Center City to

4601 Market. Just blocks from W. Philly High School, these are centers of Philly’s school-to-prison-pipeline for youth of color. For information: MayDayMa...@gmail.com; 610-352-3053

3-7pm: March, rally, and celebration at the labor monument in Elmwood Park (71st and Buist Ave, Southwest Philly), the city's and the nation's first and only park dedicated to the labor movement.
