Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will speak in Philadelphia on Thursday at a May Day rally at City Hall along with labor unions, immigrant rights groups and other organizations.

May 1 is known as International Workers Day and is a national holiday in many countries. In the U.S., we celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in September.

The Philadelphia chapter of the AFL-CIO says Thursday's rally is called "For the Workers, Not the Billionaires May Day Rally."

Speakers will discuss the importance of Social Security benefits, healh care and other services they say are under attack.

Sanders, the Senate's longest-serving independent, has been crisscrossing the U.S. on weekends for his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, with Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joining him on several occasions. Sanders shared the message from that tour on stage at the Coachella music festival and then introduced the musician Clairo.

The Philadelphia rally is scheduled from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the north apron of City Hall.

Road closures, parking restrictions for Philadelphia May Day rally with Bernie Sanders

The city of Philadelphia's Office of Special Events posted a notice Wednesday warning residents that roads around City Hall will be closed.

These streets will close around 3:15 p.m. until around 6 p.m. for the rally:

These streets, and their cross streets, will close for the march from around 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.:

Other streets may close "based on conditions and public safety considerations," the city said.

Several streets in the area will have temporary no stopping/no parking signs as well, and vehicles parked in these locations will be towed if they're not moved in time.

There will also be detours on these SEPTA bus routes: 4, 16, 17, 31, 32, 33, 38, 44, 48, 62, 124, and 125 from about 12:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday. More information is available on SEPTA's status page and the @SEPTA account on X.

Sanders appearing in Harrisburg and Bethlehem, Pa. on Friday and Saturday

The Keystone State will keep feeling the Bern through the weekend as Sanders is set to make two more appearances on the "Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here" tour.

Democratic Rep. Chris DeLuzio, who represents Beaver County and part of Allegheny County in western Pennsylvania, will appear with Sanders at both rallies.

On Friday night, Sanders and DeLuzio will be at Harrisburg's Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex for a 6 p.m. event. Prior to the speeches, Marissa Paternoster of the New Jersey-based band Screaming Females will perform, followed by Havertown native Alex G.

On Saturday, Sanders and DeLuzio will be at Lehigh University in Bethlehem for a 1 p.m. event. Musical performances start at 11:30 a.m. with Augusta Koch of the former Philadelphia band Cayetana, followed by Scranton-based band The Menzingers.

Philadelphia, PA (April 30, 2025) – A vehicle collision resulting in injuries was reported Wednesday afternoon in North Philadelphia. The crash occurred at approximately 12:25 p.m. near 5726 N 5th St, in the Olney section of the city, according to reports from local emergency monitoring platforms.

Philadelphia Fire Department and EMS crews responded swiftly to the scene to assist injured parties. At least one individual sustained injuries in the crash and was treated on-site before being transported to a local medical facility for further evaluation. The extent of injuries and number of people involved has not yet been publicly disclosed.

The area surrounding 5726 N 5th St is a busy urban corridor with high vehicle and pedestrian traffic, especially during midday hours. Authorities remained at the scene to manage traffic, investigate the incident, and coordinate cleanup of the affected roadway.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation. Factors such as speed, failure to yield, or distraction may have contributed.

We wish a full and speedy recovery to everyone injured in this incident.

Urban Traffic Collisions in Philadelphia

Crashes in dense areas like North 5th St in Olney are not uncommon, particularly during mid-day hours when local businesses, schools, and transit activity all contribute to increased roadway congestion. In Philadelphia, intersections and straightaway corridors alike are frequent crash zones due to distracted driving, poor lane discipline, or sudden stops.

Injury accidents in city environments often involve a mix of vehicle occupants, cyclists, and pedestrians. Injuries can range from minor sprains and contusions to more serious trauma such as head injuries or fractures—especially in collisions occurring at higher speeds or in areas with limited reaction time.

Urban crashes also tend to bring insurance complications, vehicle damage, and time away from work, adding to the emotional and logistical strain on victims. Seeking medical care immediately after a crash is essential, even for injuries that may not seem severe at first.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a city traffic crash, understanding your options for medical, financial, and legal recovery can make all the difference.

Accidents on city streets can happen fast—but recovery doesn’t have to be confusing. Local Accident Reports helps injury victims get connected to the care, resources, and support they need. Contact us now to get started on your path to healing with reliable guidance.

Philadelphia, PA (April 30, 2025) – A vehicle collision resulting in injuries was reported early Wednesday morning at the intersection of Aramingo Ave and E Westmoreland St in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia. The crash occurred around 4:22 a.m., prompting an emergency response from Philadelphia Fire Department and EMS personnel.

Upon arrival, first responders found at least one injured individual and provided medical treatment at the scene. The person was later transported to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. Details regarding the number of vehicles involved, the cause of the crash, and the extent of injuries have not been released.

The intersection, located in a commercial and industrial corridor of northeast Philadelphia, is active with truck and commuter traffic—even during overnight hours. Police remained on scene to conduct a preliminary investigation and manage traffic while debris was cleared.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Contributing factors may include reduced visibility, fatigue, or speed during early morning travel hours.

We extend our thoughts to those injured in this crash and hope for a smooth and full recovery.

Overnight Traffic Collisions in Philadelphia

Crashes during the early morning hours, like the one at Aramingo Ave and E Westmoreland St, often occur when visibility is low and driver alertness may be compromised. Shift workers, delivery drivers, and early commuters regularly use these roads, and fatigue-related incidents are a well-documented hazard during this time frame.

In urban centers like Philadelphia, intersections that combine residential, commercial, and industrial access—such as Aramingo Ave—are prone to higher crash rates. Narrow lanes, poor lighting, and heavy vehicle presence all contribute to the risk of serious collisions.

Injuries sustained in these crashes can range from minor to severe and may include whiplash, head trauma, or orthopedic injuries. Victims should always seek prompt medical care to ensure injuries are properly diagnosed and documented, especially when symptoms may be delayed.

Recovery from a city crash can also include navigating insurance issues, dealing with missed work, or seeking legal support for damages. Access to local resources can significantly improve outcomes during the recovery process.

If you or someone close to you has been injured in a city traffic collision, securing the right help early can protect your health and your rights.

Getting injured on the road is stressful—figuring out your next steps shouldn’t be. Local Accident Reports helps connect you with medical, legal, and recovery resources you can trust. Reach out today and begin your path to healing with the support you deserve.
