Join us in June as we explore the state and future of Justice Reform in Philadelphia as part of A People’s Exposition at the Kensington Engagement Center!
As the nation and city celebrate America’s semi-quincentennial, we invite everyone to join us from May to October for a citywide exhibit and engagement series to take a critical and honest look at key issues shaping Philadelphia today, to envision a more just and equitable future for our city, and to act on co-created solutions that address our greatest challenges.
In June, we’ll look at the facets of the carceral state including prisons, jails, policing, and other practices of enforcement, and explore alternative models of justice and support for individuals.
What you can expect from June workshops on Justice Reform:
- A welcoming space to connect with neighbors, organizations, practitioners, organizers, and others who want to create real change
- Opportunities to understand the scale and impact of the justice system through art, education, and interactive events and workshops
- Conversations about challenges across the city impacting our collective safety, including the impact of school closures and the school to prison pipeline
- Opportunities to take direct action, including around Second Chance Legislation at the state, and advocating for community-led safety and healing across Philly neighborhoods
To support meaningful participation, we’re offering stipends to a limited number of participants committed to engaging deeply in the series! To be eligible for a stipend/certificate, participants must attend at least 3 workshops in a chosen month and 1 additional workshop outside it to encourage cross-topic learning.
