This ruling is a significant step in the wrong direction. It criminalizes homelessness and threatens the lives and dignity of those most in need of our support and compassion. The anti-camping and anti-sleeping ordinances at issue in this case are, as Justice Sotomayor observed in her dissent, “unconscionable.” https://lnkd.in/eugrFxX6

Led by The Franklin Institute, GSK Science in the Summer™ is back for its 38th year! In a remarkable year for astronomical exploration and discovery, GSK Science in the Summer™, a free summer STEM program for students in grades 2 through 6, returns in 2024 with a new theme: "Be a Space Scientist!" The theme invites students to investigate the challenges of exploring and traveling in space. Supported by GSK, the national program aims to reach 23,400 students across 290 organizations while providing TFI professional training to approximately 500 educators to help them develop skills to provide high-quality informal STEM experiences for youth nationwide. An estimated 7,000 students across Greater Philadelphia alone will experience being a space scientist this summer through strategic partnerships with 40 youth-serving organizations dedicated to providing high-quality programming to children from groups traditionally under-represented in STEM careers or from under-resourced communities. Some include Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia, Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia, Free Library of Philadelphia, Project HOME, Sunrise of Philadelphia, Girls Inc. of Greater Philadelphia & Southern New Jersey, and more. Explore the free available GSK Science in the Summer™ curriculum at scienceinthesummer.fi.edu, developed by The Franklin Institute.
