This episode was produced with generous support from the Gen Next Foundation, which leverages a venture philanthropy framework to build paradigm-shifting social ventures with a wide footprint of impact.

Leveraging their powerful and authentic voices, this peer-to-peer solution disrupts radicalization and hate group recruitment.
