We are honored to share that we were mentioned by President Obama during his \u201cChallenges to Democracy in the Digital Information Realm\u201d keynote when he talked about \u201ca new generation of activists\u201d who are leading the way in addressing the problem of disinformation and polarization in the U.S.:<\/p>\n
“And the good news is we\u2019ve got a new generation of activists that seem to be ready to keep moving… I\u2019ve had the privilege of meeting young leaders in our Obama Foundation network, like… Juliana Tafur, who\u2019s using documentary film and curated workshops to reduce polarization and help Americans connect across differences. Young people everywhere are recognizing that this is a problem. They\u2019re not just griping about it, they\u2019re doing their part to fix it. And the rest of us need to follow their lead.” – Former President Barack Obama, April 21, 2022<\/p>\n
