Come find out what can be done to stop the violence and protect our communities.

Last semester, your energy and commitment helped President Obama win a second term in office. After all the hard work that you put in, we are excited to offer you the opportunity to celebrate President Obama’s re-election with an Inauguration Day trip to Washington, D.C. 

The trip details are as follows:

We will leave in the very early morning of January 21^st for Washington, D.C. via chartered bus and return later that evening. (There are no classes on January 21^stbecause in addition to Inauguration Day, it is also Martin Luther King Jr. Day)

The cost of the trip for each student will be $60 and will be due prior to the trip. This price includes round trip transportation between DC and Penn.

On this trip we will witness President Obama’s swearing in, the Inaugural Parade, and other festivities of the day. SPACE IS VERY LIMITED. If you intend to participate, reserve your spot on the bus by completing  this form.

We look forward to being a part of this moment in history and sharing it with as many of you as possible. This will be an incredible final chapter on our successful effort to elect Democrats during the 2012 election cycle.
