Thank you for reviewing the...Fantastic piece Ittay. Thank you for reviewing the social justice related sessions you attended (especially for those who were even at the conference but couldn't be everywhere at the same time!)<br /><br />In light of all you wrote I emphasize too that there are two sides of the coin of change - the speaking and the listening. There is, thanks to these movements and immense amount of positive and valuable speaking and message-propagating. Let us hope that someone is listening.Peretzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288560084786537765noreply@blogger.com
