Secretary Senior Deputies
Recently in the club's history, the Secretary has been tasked with engaging with social justice issues. To support this role, there are several social justice senior deputy positions that are open-ended and can be tailored to the social justice subjects and issues that you care about most! Organizing petitioning and letter writing table events on Locust, presenting social justice focused presentations at DBMs, reaching out to groups/organizations to plan awesome panels and workshops, and organizing and attending protests and rallies are just some of the possible projects that fall under the role of a Secretary Senior Deputy.

If you have any questions, please contact Francois (secretary@penndems.org)
What does social justice mean to you and how have you explored/pursued it in your life? (~3 sentences)
What social justice issue are you most passionate about? Why? What is an example of an event you would plan in this role to help address/engage with that injustice? (~5 sentences)
Part of being a senior deputy with a more open ended role is taking initiative to go beyond your basic duties. Describe an instance in your life where you took meaningful initiative. (This could be big or small, from asking an important question, to starting an organization, to implementing an idea you've had, anything that you were not already instructed to do) (~3 sentences)
