About this Event
BEYOND ARRESTS: RETHINKING SYSTEMATIC OPPRESSION (BARS)
BARS creates a space on Penn’s campus where students engage in dialogues related to criminal justice and anti-carceral advocacy. We frame our agenda around local political action and mutual aid, and hope to generate a continual presence in criminal justice reform, anti-carceral, and abolitionist advocacy in Philadelphia. From following local political campaigns to connecting with local organizations, BARS members evaluate issues at the forefront of criminal justice and advocate for a better world.
