Stadium Stompers is a movement of Community Members, students, and faculty coming together to stop Temple University's stadium and build power in North Philly. Since November 2015, we've been committed to organizing together as members of North Central Philadelphia. We hold meetings every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at the Church of the Advocate (1801 Diamond St) from 6-7:30pm.
“ Change is going to happen. We are aware of that. But change happening to drive black folks out of their homes’ history, our history, our culture and most of all, our memories, will not be tolerated. Yes, I am passionate about stopping the stadium. I am not naive. This effort is wrong-headed no matter how you look at it.”
