Philadelphia is proud to be a city of firsts, including: 1st university 🎓 1st zoo 🐯 1st hospital 🏥 1st library 📚 1st museum of natural history 🦖 Drexel just announced plans to close The Academy of Natural Sciences to the public at the end of this month. We must stop this.

Philly just celebrated the nation's 250th anniversary promoting itself as the city of firsts. Allowing the Academy of Natural Sciences to close is an embarrassment and exposes that pride as little more than a marketing slogan. Sign the petition and come to the protest! luma.com/1qwnrqz2
