First of all I want to give THANKS:
I am a member of the Kensington Welfare Rights Union. It is a powerful, multi-racial organization of poor and homeless families including the working poor. It is based in Kensington, North Philly which is the poorest community in the entire state of Pennsylvania. The Kensington Welfare Rights Union has over the years done some magnificent things with no money. None of its leaders and staff have salaries. Some may think that this is crazy. But we think this is commitment under the present circumstances of our organization. There is no in between. People either love us or they hate us. But nobody can deny our commitment! We have been in existence for over ten years. We are a family. And without the Kensington Welfare Rights Union I would not be here today. So I want to give thanks where thanks is due, first and foremost, to all the members of the Kensington Welfare Rights Union. In most respect this Award is not an Individual award. It is an award to a tremendous collective effort
