Sister Mary Scullion combines advocacy and helping individuals.

A few in the peace movement also worked against violence between governments, and gang violence locally. I wonder why people who urge high school students to think twice before they get enticed by a military recruiter, don't also urge them to think twice before joining a gang. A few probably do but think they are separate hats. However a march to, or from, a army recruiting center and a gang rap record company would be a powerful march.

A historic example is Dr. C. Delores Tucker, who among other things, founded the Philadelphia Chapter of the MLK Center for Nonviolent Change. Since her earlier MLK Center for Non-Violence Association, was identical in many ways to the MLK Center for Non Violence which predated Coretta Scott King 's MLK Center for Nonviolent Change in Atlanta Georgia, one could almost say the Philadelphia Chapter founded the national office.

Lance Haver was an activist in the Consumer Party, and the Consumers Education and Protective Association before Mayor Street appointed him to run the Consumer Affairs Department of Philadelphia. His great success might mean good news for Sister Mary Scullion future on the Ethics Board.

If you read this earlier I had complained about mistakes in how the article posted which was corrected so I edited it out of this comment.

However the link on how the homeless were mistreated under then Mayor Rendell was still wrong. Now it seems alright but if it happens again click on,
