DNC Day One

I'm in Philly to cover the DNC this week. Here are some photos from Monday, July 25, 2016.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein speaks at on how both the GOP and Democrats have left behind so many after the Republican National Convention and #DNCleak during the "March of Our Lives" rally on July 25, 2016 in Philadelphia, PA.

Many supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders came to Philadelphia for the DNC, not to show their support to the Democratic Party and its Convention, but to protest items that came to light with #DNCleak. People of all ages, young and old, gathered by Philadelphia City Hall on July 25 to march and protest the Democratic National Committee.

Philadelphia Police were very present throughout the DNC. The police were very well organized and professional - answering questions by puzzled locals and defusing situations between rival protesting groups. Here the police line up to keep march participants near the sidewalk until the protest from Philadelphia City Hall to Wells Fargo Center began.
