?? Distracted driving remains a critical issue—but youth leaders are taking action. In the latest episode of The Power of Young People, we highlight how peer-led initiatives are transforming road safety.

"Our father-in-law and grandfather, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, 'People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they have not communicated with each other.' Real communication with one another is key to establishing and sustaining what Dr. King called the Beloved Community that was the core of his dream — a society at peace with itself, that has foundations in justice, nonviolence, and equal opportunity for all." -Arndrea Waters King and Yolanda Renee King https://lnkd.in/gQ_mGcY3?

This is incredible. Every city in America should have an office of youth engagement. I wonder how many others do?
