Democrats in Pennsylvania’s state of public crossing: “Time honors American traditions” | Pennsylvania
“R.The best part of this is to take the largest possible number of carbohydrates, ” Malcolm KenyattaWhich has lost 100 pounds over the past two years. “I I already had bread, I’m eating snacks, spending fun time. “
The representative of the democratic state was speaking on the phone from Bromal, Pennsylvania, on Friday, about 12 miles away to a One man, 105 miles March From Philadelphia to Harrispurg in protest against radical discounts to regional public transport services.
Kenyatta started at seven in the morning on Friday, when she was wearing a jolf shirt, black sports pants, brook coaches and a green backpack with a personal stick, an outdoor phone charger, glasses and snacks.
The 35 -year -old is running alone on most of the five -day trip, but sometimes employees who lead all the way will notice support. It stops every few hours to change its socks and soften his feet to avoid pimples.
It will also be resting every night in a “cheap small hotel” somewhere but it has not been booked in advance. “I will just stop when my body tells me that I cannot go anymore, and I am sure that someone will leave light for me in one of these hotels or anything else along the way.“
It will also broadcast parts of walking On Instagram Live He held four marches and press conferences, and reached its climax on Tuesday on the steps of the Capitol Building in Harrisburg.
Kenyatta hopes to draw attention to budget discounts in The Transport Authority in the southeast of Pennsylvania (SEPTA), a general transit agency that provides buses, metro, vehicle and regional railway service in the Philadelphia region.
The financing crisis is attributed to the Republican inaction in the state legislative body, and highlights the influence on students, the elderly and workers. Republicans say it is a crisis made by the Democratic Party.
Septa has a $ 213 million operating deficit this year and warned of the service discounts that started this week, which affects thousands of children on the first day of the school, The agency will be sent to a “cycle of death” If there is no more funding from the state government.
“It is a problem that does not decrease” Kenyatta said. “Part of what made this very frustrated is that this is not one of the budget confrontations driven by the lack of resources. We have put forward five proposals from the two parties to finance mass transportation.“
He added that the Republicans of the Senate in the state fled the Capitol to play the golf, and they go to shoot at clay and take trips, leaving the transfer of transportation in forgetfulness. “Since the workers are struggling, they literally wander around the presence of cocktails with the richest people in the state.
“This contrast is an exciting thing, and it is clear and people must be angry, and what I do now in this 105 -mile walking walks out of the American traditions that were honored in the march“
Kenyatta indicated that this week coincides with the 62nd anniversary of the march in Washington. “It was not lost that what I do is symbolic, but what is symbolic is the pain that people feel every day.“
Kenyatta is also a vice -president of the National Democratic Committee, and suggested that, while Donald Trump is seeking to expand the presidential force, the party is looking for people ready to take off gloves.
He said: “There is a discussion in the Democratic Party and the discussion is very simple,” some people believe that we must go and die and some people who think we should fight like hell. Some people believe that we must use every tool at our disposal to fight the authoritarian acquisition of our country.
“chair [Ken] Martin leads that. He said at our DNC meeting, the Democratic Party cannot continue to bring a pencil to the battle of a knife, and we must organize everywhere, and we must think outside the box, and we must find ways to link these issues with people who resonate with them.
