Young artists & activists lit up a dark year

Feast your eyes on the work and wisdom of Gen Z-ers in Homeschool Musical: Class of 2020 and a virtual conference about youth & technology — Remember that headline in The Atlantic three years ago asking whether smartphones were “destroying a generation”?

Social media’s turning point

5 steps needed now, no turning back — We’re feeling the urgency, right? Maybe it’s just that we’re facing more than we ever have, amid a pandemic, nationwide protests against social injustice and a fraught election year.
