Nobody throws a rally quite like @SusanSpicka and friends
Had a blast photographing yesterday's #FundOurSchoolsPA rally. Schools throughout Pennsylvania are severely underfunded and that's being challenged at the #SchoolFundingTrial.

Creating a more peaceful world requires a peaceful mind and a peaceful heart. As human brothers and sisters we must live together with affection and respect. The only way to solve human problems and preserve the peace is to meet, talk and engage in dialogue. #PeaceDayChallenge
