14-year-old girl rescued after falling 100 feet into well

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Activists in Philadelphia are taking to the streets to decry recent shootings of black men by police and urge reforms. About 150 protesters rallied at City Hall Monday morning. It was one of six protests around the nation planned by a group called Showing Up for Racial Justice. Volunteer John Bergen says the group wants to show that a large number of white Americans are troubled by the recent shootings of black men by police. A stretch of downtown streets near City Hall are shut down to accommodate the protest. The group planned other rallies Monday in Fairfax, Virginia; Portland, Oregon; Madison, Wisconsin; Louisville, Kentucky; and Hudson, New York. They're calling for an end to violence by police against people of color, and for police departments to be held accountable.
