Last week, Franklin Field overflowed to the bleachers as Penn Medicine & @ChildrensPhila joined together in remembrance of victims of systemic racism & injustice. As Dr. Polite says, “We've been comfortable for too long. We kneel so that moments like this turn into movements.”

Today on #Juneteenth, we ask the entire Penn community to reflect on what we can do to dismantle systemic racism and structural barriers to equality. Together, we will listen, learn, and lead. These efforts can no longer wait. Now is the time to act.
