Less than 24 hours before the House votes on articles of impeachment, Philadelphians gathered for a rally at Thomas Paine Plaza as part of a national movement to push for President Donald Trump’s removal from office.

The “Impeach & Remove Rally,” organized through MoveOn.org, got started around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, attracting hundreds of demonstrators to the northwest corner of City Hall. More than 600 similar rallies nationwide, touting that “nobody is above the law,” also took place congressional offices and public squares across the country, according to the group’s website.

Standing in the rain in Philadelphia, people sang and held signs reading “no one is above the law” and “united we stand.” Light-up signs declared: “impeach and remove.”

5. LOL I didn't realize they had named that open area in front of the Municipal Services building

"Thomas Paine Plaza". Looking at the twitter video I said to myself - "well that looks like the Municipal Services building behind them"... and sure enough.

As a note - that is where the Frank Rizzo statue is (that gets vandalized every once in awhile).





I also missed that they installed an afro pick there too near that statue -





I am glad to see those folks out there this evening considering that it has been cold and rainy and in the 30s all day.
