Summary

"if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?!" If a genocide persists and every person that speaks out is silenced will the killing persist?! For both the answer is yes. What we need to be reminded of in moments like these is that our power is in our collective voice and truth. How we stand up for one another, how we speak out, matters. Waj and Danielle discuss media blackouts, biases and more on the next democracyish!
