LL Cool J, Jazmine Sullivan Cancel Philadelphia Festival Gig in Solidarity With Striking City Workers
LL Cool J and Jazmine Sullivan have cancelled their scheduled performances at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia in solidarity with striking city workers. LL Cool J publicly stated his refusal to cross the picket line and profit while workers are fighting for a living wage. Sullivan has not released a statement but is presumed to be in alignment with LL Cool J's position. The Roots Picnic, a popular annual music festival, will proceed without their headlining acts. The strike involves city workers advocating for better wages and working conditions. The absence of these high-profile performers underscores the impact of the labor dispute and draws further attention to the workers' demands.
