Day 2 Concurrent Session - Reimagining Community Safety

Communities across Philadelphia are reimagining what systems of safety and justice looks like. In this session you will hear from community safety practitioners in an engaging dialogue on defining true public safety, facilitating resident-based initiatives, and resetting around relationships with law enforcement. The panel will explore these questions in the context of The Village of Arts & Humanities’ safety and social justice work in North Philadelphia – a neighborhood with one of the highest incarceration and poverty rates in the city.
