Hundreds of protestors rally outside the Marcellus Shale Conference in downtown Philadelphia Wednesday.org


Natural gas protestors marching down Broad Street in Center City Philadelphia dropped a banner at the corner of Locust street that read: “Arrest Corbett, Justice for Rivers, Fracking Kills”
According to one of the protest organizers, the banner quickly disappeared. We’ll keep you updated on its fate. Several hundred people are in town to protest gas drilling during the Marcellus Shale Conference. Former Governor Ed Rendell is expected to speak to conference goers this afternoon.
