@sennoma @Nickiquote Philadelphia police estimated the crowd size at 15,000, but I don't know. Hillary Clinton drew 40,000 to the same space when she was running for president. The crowd wasn't as dense as then, but it's a lot of people including overflow on 6th Street.

This will be a horrible scenario for Philadelphia:

"Those and other cuts totaling 45% of SEPTA service would be implemented in two phases, starting this fall — if the Pennsylvania legislature doesn’t pass Gov. Josh Shapiro’s latest proposal to increase state aid for mass transit systems."
