Our public forum in Washington, DC was wonderful! Tanya Tkachenko, Frida Zeinali and Arooj Khalid were powerful and inspiring. We are so grateful to them and so proud of them. Baylee Krulewitz wrote a terrific recap of the event and today we published the recording so you can all see it. Thank you to everyone who was there, and for the many people who wanted to be there with us in person but couldn't. You are appreciated so very much. youthjournalism.org/powerful-stories-shared-at-yjis-washington-dc-forum-silence-will-not-save-us/ ... See MoreSee Less
