Hosted by the Penn Government and Politics Association and the Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy, this virtual panel of experts and activists will discuss the recent activism for Penn to pay PILOTs (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) and, more broadly, the question of Penn’s responsibility to public education and community justice in Philadelphia.

The panelists include:

  • Rick Krajewski, Candidate for Pennsylvania House of Representatives in the 188th District, Penn Class of 2013

  • Sarah Min, Penn Community for Justice

Co-sponsored by Penn Democrats, GEAR UP at Penn, Penn AAPI Politics, and the SNF Paideia Program.
