However, thousands say they are planning to march, rather protest, on New Year s Day.
A Facebook group titled Mummers/New Year s Day Peaceful Protest Against Mayor Kenney so far has more than 2,600 RSVPs, with more than 8,000 who say they are interested in attending. Well, I think it s important to remember that the bulk of the Mummers and their organized groups made clear that they weren t going to march this year, said Mayor Jim Kenney during Tuesday s COVID-19 briefing.
Kenney asked those that plan to protest to reconsider, but respects their right to. We ll try to keep them safe. If they would wear a mask that would be helpful, said Kenney.
