Event: New York Peace Talks 2019
Location: Salesforce Tower
Date: 11/12/2019

An 18-year-old youth activist and a Board Member of March for Our Lives, Bria Smith, joined the New York Peace Talks. She talked about how young people in society as a collective can talk about trust. She emphasized key three points to build trust: reflection, digestion, creation. “We are having so many communities not trusting each other because we are so fragmented, so different and so divisive – because we didn’t have this conversation of what trust looks like.”
