Congressman Evans Speaking In Lower Merion Sunday, Jan 14

MERION, PA – Congressman Dwight Evans – who represents Lower Merion Township, Narberth, and various parts of Philadelphia as Pennsylvania's 2nd congressional district representative in the House of Representatives – will be in Lower Merion Township on Sunday, Jan. 14 for a special community event in honor of Dr. King Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy.

Evans will be at Convent of Mercy Auditorium, 515 Montgomery Ave., Merion, from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. a community event billed as "The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Forum: Conversation with Your Congressman."

The event is free and open to the public. Call Evans' Philadelphia Office at (215) 276-0340 for more information on Sunday's event.

The forum is sure to be a lively discussion about topics impacting our community such as: healthcare, immigration, homeless, poverty, caring for our earth, and much more.

“Dr. King once said, ‘of all forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane,'" Evans said in a statement. "I find these words and Dr. King’s teachings to have such a profound meaning in the current political climate we face."

Sunday's talk will "highlight how the GOP Tax Scam runs counter to the society we want to live in," according to a release from Evans office.

"When we think about the GOP Tax Scam and what this means for the continued viability of our neighborhoods we must ask ourselves a simple question, ‘what kind of society do we want to live in?’ If we want to live in a society where we are our brother’s and sister’s keeper, we must do all we can to lift up our neighbors, support our family and friends, and care for our earth and the people around us," Evans said. "The GOP Tax Scam runs counter to the society we want to live in. I hope you will join me this weekend for an important dialogue about how the power of our voices and actions will create the change we desire.
