Temple University Chapter
Formed in October 2022, The Temple University Chapter is the first official collegiate chapter of The Accountability Initiative. This chapter is focused on identifying and addressing issues persistent both on Temple's campus and in the city of Philadelphia. TAI's Temple University Chapter aims to bridge the gap between the University and the North Philadelphia Community, educate students about their impact on their surrounding community, and encourage participation in meaningful community service.

#100StoriesCampaign
Starting January 2023, the Temple University Chapter of The Accountability Initiative and the Gun Violence Committee are looking to gather 100 Stories of individuals who have been affected by gun violence in Philadelphia. The objective of this campaign is to amplify the voices of these individuals, and share their experiences to current and prospective city leaders in an effort to highlight the urgency on the matter and demand change.
