Penn Community for Justice Fund

Film Project: 

The film project, "Testimony: 52nd St. and the Invisible Violence of Penn," focuses on the May 31st crackdown on 52nd St. where campus Police aided the Philadelphia Police in a violent assault against West Philly residents. T hrough telling this story we aim to raise awareness about the damaging impact of wealthy unchecked institutions within our community and build momentum towards enacting change.

Goal: $3000

UPDATE: With your help we have successfully raised almost half the funds needed to complete this project. We are looking for your help to finish post-production and move forward with distribution. Your donations are much appreciated!

• Megaphones and a quality sound system
• Payment for community voices and advocates
• Community care items (Protective equipment for in person actions such as masks and hand sanitizer, water, etc.)
