Please join us for a Town Hall Hearing on the challenges facing girls of color in Philadelphia

WHY ARE GIRLS OF COLOR….

DISCONNECTED from family & community?

CRIMINALIZED and INCARCERATED
Disproportionately for subjective, non-violent
infractions?

HARMED by trauma, malnutrition, housing
discrimination, and a lack of access to services?

INVISIBILIZED in the narrative surrounding
the school-to-prison pipeline and state violence?

What can be done about it? Join us in breaking the silence!
