Join us for a virtual conversation with Natasha Danielá de Lima McGlynn ’20, Executive Director at Anti-Violence Partnership of Philadelphia. Natasha’s organization and the community it serves are witnessing the effects of Philadelphia’s increased surge in gun violence and homicides. Join us to discuss programs, policies, and strategies to address this issue and the communities of color in Philadelphia that have been disproportionately affected by this rise in violence.
While earning her MPA at Fels, Natasha worked as a Student Fellow with the Ortner Center on Violence & Abuse, and her capstone research on violence against women in public spaces earned her the 2020 Fels Public Service Award.
About the series:
The Fels Racial Equity and Social Justice Series, led by Fels alum Matt Stitt, is designed to provide students with a variety of perspectives on how public policy impacts racial equity and social justice. The series will include conversations with elected officials, policymakers, and public sector leaders to examine how policy, legislation, and practice can further racial equity and social justice goals. Fels is proud to offer these important conversations to Fels students and alumni, the entire Penn community, and members of the public.
