A friend of mine from Brewerytown asked me to post this. It looks to be a lively neighborhood political forum discussing amongst other things a topic near and dear to many of us outside of Center City - access to healthy foods as a means to promote better diet and also as a keystone for inclusive neighborhood economic development.

The West Girard Supermarket Coalition Candidate Night is being held by the West Girard Supermarket Coalition. It is a coalition of neighborhood groups working towards getting a supermarket into the neighborhood. The night is specifically towards this topic with a Q&A afterwards if time permits.

We invited all Democrat and Republican candidates for the 2nd Congressional, 3rd State Senate, 1st State Senate and 195th State House. We have had several confirmations already.

This is an open night to everyone and we expect a decent turn out of residents. The more that show up, the more it shows neighborhood support.

As it says having a good turnout is key to impressing the candidates participating that convenient access to affordable, quality food is important to health and neighborhood economic development.
