As you can see from the world map on our home page, we have a growing, eclectic community of individuals from across the globe -- from Brooklyn to Pakistan. Thank you for taking the time to add your voice to that fascinating mix.

As you surf around the Network and its companion site, www.fivefreedoms.org, I urge you to share your voice throughout. Take our You Be The Judge First Amendment quiz (a new scenario every two weeks). Leave a comment on a fellow member's personal page and make a new contact. Upload a video to our gallery, or watch and react to one already there. Join (or start) a group or visit the Soapbox to contribute to (or start) a discussion. And invite others to join us.

Post a comment on my page anytime with questions or ideas. And please, the next time you're online, upload a photo to your personal profile -- the easiest way to make a virtual network feel more personal is by seeing each other's faces (and profile answers). Thanks again!

We are so glad to have the Obama actvists join our campaign. The Youth Graduation Empowerment Project (YGEP) challenges students and adult allies to participate in research, civic engagement and service-learning projects to identify specific improvements in schools and communities. The YGEP Student Leadership Team will develop and present policy proposals to policymakers and advocate for their approval. Our goal is action to change schools and communities to increase graduation opportunities for students in our state. We hope to have documents to guide activities soon.
