In a time where voices of dissent are threatened, our work to expand—and protect—spaces where young people most impacted by these attacks come together to create powerful counter-narratives, feels incredibly urgent.

On December 6th, Global Action Project celebrated a quarter century of social justice youth media. G.A.P. youth leaders, alumni, staff, board, community partners and supporters from the span of our 25 years came together to honor what #GAP25 honoree Reina Gossett called, “a rich and powerful legacy of youth-led social transformation.” It's not too late to support that legacy with a tax-deductible donation today!
