Discussion on how violent crimes impact Philadelphia’s social economy and how we can take immediate action to source systemic solutions
Please join us for panels and a fireside chat titled “Addressing Systemic Problems: Taking A Stance Against Gun Violence Philadelphia.”
Speakers from SEPTA, Temple University, the City of Philadelphia and other local leaders (to be announced) will share their insight and existing case studies on accessible methods to solve systemic community disparity including gun violence. These discussions will seek to identify root causes and potential solutions that could be activated immediately to solve some of Philadelphia’s most pressing issues.
Immediately following the chat, there will be happy hour to intentionally network on actionable plans to reduce violence and the resources needed to implement them. All attendees are encouraged to be prepared to have meaningful discussions on the resources they can access (plans and/or funding) to bring potential initiatives to action.
