On the eve of Election Day, The Vote is Sacred Tour visited Harrisburg. A camera crew from the local ABC News affiliate was waiting at Beth El Temple for us when the bus arrived. We met up with Rabbi Carl Choper of Interfaith Alliance of Pennsylvania and visited the capitol building and other sites around the city. We finished our visit to Harrisburg with a press conference in partnership with Power to the Hill, which engages voters and promotes active citizenship in the Allison Hill neighborhood. The reporter from the ABC affiliate delivered a live report from the site of the press conference.

We departed Harrisburg for Philadelphia after the press conference and were able to watch the report on the television on the bus! Here’s a photo of that exciting moment!
