Philly DA announces town hall series
Sep 16, 2025On Tuesday, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner announced a ‘Be the Light and Bring the Light’ community town hall series across the city in response to the Trump administration’s plans to put National Guard troops in American cities.
Krasner is running for a 3rd term and is our progressive (and former defense attorney) D.A., a significant change from past, "hanging judge" D.As.
This is what Democrats, hand-in-hand with the Working Families Party, are doing.
