Last week, the CPGC had the honor of welcoming Saleem Holbrook and Vince Warren (‘86) to the annual Fellowship Kickoff Event. P-JEFs, summer fellows, and community members attended a keynote speech on the use of grassroots activism to advance multi-layered policy change for justice in the U.S. and internationally.
At the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, we are committed to the profound dignity of every human life. And we understand that radical love is required to move beyond the injustices and violences of the present era. Since October 7, the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship has offered events that aim to advance three things on campus and beyond:
- See the full humanity of one another.
- Hold communities together in difficult conversations on this campus.
- Deepen understanding on this campus.
Haverford’s Center For Peace and Global Citizenship is thrilled to welcome groundbreaking justice advocates, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, Vince Warren (86’), and executive director of the Abolitionist Law Center, Saleem Holbrook, to campus as part of the CPGC’s Spring 2024 kickoff for students selected for summer fellowships. Their collective work has aided an evergrowing network of prison reform work, now taking the international stage.
