For the first time in five years, Philadelphia FIGHT is bringing its HIV Education Summit back to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, 1101 Arch St., on Thursday, June 27th from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Keep Going, Keep Moving, A Cure is in Sight is the theme for the event Philadelphia FIGHT will spearhead in honor of AIDS Education Month. The annual summit raises awareness about the latest innovations and strategies to prevent and treat HIV, and the newest developments in the quest to find a cure. I speak to Dr. Tashina Reeder Director of the Community Health Training Alliance for  Philadelphia FIGHT.

Pennsylvania’s courts declared that our school funding system is unconstitutional because the quality of students’ education is determined by their zip code. This year lawmakers have a chance to end the underfunding via a proposed $1.8 billion increase for public schools and a long-term commitment to close the entire funding gap.  I’m joined by students who are part of Children First’s Justice in Education Program who are advocates for equitable education funding.  They are: Gwen Shapiro, Tyrese Gordon,  Agnes Kane, Hannah Levere, Jaelyn Walker, Dell Salm, Talia Flavin and Regina Yajah
