Lobbying Issue: Funding for Philly Youth Poetry Movement (Phase Three)

The status of my legislature seems to be in a "good" year because majority of my representatives (local) support PYPM so as a whole my lobbying issue seems to be in good standing. A policy has not yet been written for this issue because of other pressing issues such as the Occupy Philly Movement. Because in recent weeks, this movement has kind of taken over on the list of priorities and the city is trying to deal with it as best as they can non-violently and legally. As you can see in the photos below, the city has it's hands tied with this here Occupy Philadelphia.

The stakeholders in this issue right now  are Mayor Nutter and the city council members. The allies I have on board are Mayor Nutter and the city council members. Basically right now everything is kind of a waiting game because of all of the unrest so once that subsides and they handle the problem or come to a compromise with the protesters I can move forward.

The founder of PYPM, Greg Corbin, is helping me with this issue because he really wants PYPM to be more of a national maybe one day even global change but before thinking big we have to think small. We want to take more misguided youths off the street and allow them to express themselves in a more creative and productive manner rather than terrorizing random people just for the fun of it. The dates we have to look out for are the next city council meetings pretty much and see when the next session is.
