Join us for an interactive experience that will give you a glimpse of the daily struggles faced by individuals with a criminal record. You will step into the shoes of a low-income Philadelphia resident who is forced to grapple with issues like finding a job, gaining access to stable housing, maintaining custody of your children, and getting public benefits, all while the specter of a criminal record hangs over your head. After a discussion to debrief the exercise, the event will conclude with testimony by a community member who has experienced these issues first-hand and translated his experiences into activism. This is an opportunity to learn through action. 

Refreshments will be available to those who RSVP by October 14th by contacting Victoria Gillison vgilli@law.upenn.edu
