On Wednesday, March 19, 2009, police attacked members of the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM) in the gallery of the City Council during the City Council session where Mayor Nutter was announcing his 2010 budget. International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement members were holding signs protesting Mayor Nutter’s budget, which cuts essential services for the African population while spending more than one billion dollars a year for police and prisons attacking the black community. Subsequent to the police attack, InPDUM international organizer Diop Olugbala, (aka Wali Rahman), and member Shabaka Mnombatha, (aka Franklin Moses), were brutally arrested and are being charged with aggravated assault on police!

Last week, Mayor Nutter presented another round of budget cuts that represent a continued attack on the poor and working people of Philadelphia.  Last week, Mayor Nutter presented another round of budget cuts that represent a continued attack on the poor and working people of Philadelphia. Along with these proposed cuts, Nutter's office announced a series of town hall meetings -- meetings that are being sold to the public as places to be heard and for our input to be taken into account. Yet, the Mayor's meetings and the media coverage of this moment has not spelled out the very human effects the proposed budget cuts will have on our lives.
