    Our Center (Community Outreach) Director, Harry Leong, had a 10 minute interview with WHYY and other news station before a press conference called at City Hall. Harry also led off that press conference in front of the Mayor’s office speaking about the petitioning and efforts by our church and many others. Our staff had been working hard on gathering signatures and organizing them. We presented 23,514 signed petitions to Mayor Nutter which he graciously received in front of news cameras.

    Over the weekend, many of our church’s Chinese members with their broken English boldly collected signatures at the Greyhound Station, Gallery and Reading Terminal. I am humbled by their courage. This has brought the three congregations of our church together in ways we would have never perceived.

    The Mayor still seems pretty intent on passing legislation.
