What participants are saying about
the Askable Adult Campaign 

I have learned the importance and value of silence in a conversation. I want to have more meaningful conversations with the youth in my life, and that begins with giving them the space to respond, not answering questions for them, and not rushing them to reply if they are quiet...

“We will rise up as a community and say that violence against anyone is unacceptable.”
