Join us for City Lobby, our monthly parlor for urban exchange in Philadelphia. This month we're talking about ways we can make Philly an even more welcoming city. Mayor Kenney has been a strong advocate for sanctuary cities -- are those protections at risk? How can Philly be even more inclusive of immigrants & refugees, natives & newcomers? With special guests:
Herman Nyamunga, Welcoming Center
Benjamin Miller, South Philly Barbacoa
Jess Ryan, Philly newbie
Mo Manklang, U.S. Dept of Arts & Culture, US Federation of Worker Cooperatives
Hosted by Michelle Freeman & Jermaine Jenkins. Thanks to support from Knight Foundation and Pipeline Philly. Locals & travelers welcome. Drinks provided!
