SOME OF OUR FAVORITE VIDEOS
There is SO MUCH great media available that, like our Recommended Reading List, we thought we'd have a page dedicated to our favorite videos and other internet content. The list will grow and expand as we locate some of our favs and as more is developed. We hope you find these films useful in your advocacy.
