The Chain of Change organizes youth activists to individually and collectively strategize how to end violence by exposing its roots through the creation of media.
Beyondmedia and the Chain of Change project are committed to advancing justice in and through media.

This blog seeks to fill in the gaps by including your story. Fill out this survey and submit an article to share how you are experience violence.
