About John Oliver Mason

I am a freelance writer, having worked for newspapers, magazines and blogs for over twenty-five years, covering neighborhood and working people making their communities and their lives better. I believe in the power of the written word to bring about change, and I put that into practice. I believe that when we become aware of the effect our small actions in the community have in improving lives, we can truly make a difference. I am also one of the leading poets in the Philadelphia area, and I also write fiction. I also act, performing on the public access channel PhillyCAM.

Who would you like to talk to soon?

President Biden, to tell him to invoke the 14th Amendment and ignore the debt limit. The Republicans aren’t about saving the economy, they’ll destroy the economy to get back into power.

I speak about the screwed-up announcement over Twitter of Ron DeSantis’ candidacy, the debt-ceiling debacle, and the cowardice of the corporate-owner class in the face of anti-LGBTQ hate.

Tomorrow, May 25,2023, from 4:00-6:00 PM, there will be a memorial rally for George Floyd, who was choked to death by a police officer in 2020, at the North side of City Hall in Philadelphia. There will be songs, spoken-word performances, and reflection, along with calls for Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act. The event is sponsored by the Labor for Black Lives Coalition, and the Civil and Human rights Committee of the Philadelphia AFL-CIO.
