For that past 25 years Cheri Honkala has been at the front line
fighting for economic justice in America. In her 20's she and her
little boy Mark became homeless and struggled for basic necessities.
To survive Cheri moved into an abandoned HUD property and began a life-
long journey fighting for her family and other families in poverty.


Her organizing and civil disobedience has landed her in jail more than
200 times and she has been in the forefront fighting for adequate
food, housing, and health care.


In 2011 she became the first woman to run for Sheriff in Philadelphia
and the first and only Sheriff candidate to run on a zero-evictions
platform making her the only true "Occupy" candidate.


2012 she became the Green Party Vice-Presidential Nominee running with
Jill Stein.


Come meet Cheri Honkala and be inspired by her story
at this rare one-night-only event.
