Teri Adams of Independence Hall Foundation has announced that the Delaware Valley Pro-Blue Rally will be held 1-2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 10 on Independence Mall, 5th and Market streets, Philadelphia.
“As you well know, the mostly unanswered nationwide protests attacking local police has indirectly led to the assassination of two NYPD Officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Lui, in Brooklyn, New York, this past Saturday,” Ms. Adams said.
She said the rally will show support for the men and women of the various police departments, throughout the Delaware Valley, who take monumental risks, everyday, to protect our lives and provide safety to our loved ones.
She said that several elected officials have already committed to speak at the rally.
She noted the event is strictly non-partisan and all individuals who sincerely support the efforts of local police and law enforcement officers are welcome.
She asked that any signage be positive and only reflect support for the men and women in blue.
