The members of the Penn Political Review Executive Board are united in the fight against systemic racism and police brutality. We stand behind the black community of Penn, Philadelphia, and America at large. We honor the lives of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and the countless other victims of senseless violence. We will not forget them. We stand in solidarity with those grappling with the trauma caused by centuries of racial inequity.

We commit to fighting prejudice and holding ourselves and our communities accountable. We pledge to continue to listen, read, and speak about racial injustice.

We are donating to Community Legal Services of Philadelphia and Black Visions Collective to extend our support beyond words.

Our mission is to amplify Penn students’ voices on political issues and spark discourse between a multitude of viewpoints. We will continue to foster conversations around equality, respect, and human rights.
