Leena Khandwala: The Global Action Project

Global Action Project (GAP) is a non-profit organization founded in 1991 whose mission is to work with young people most affected by injustice to build the knowledge, tools and relationships needed to create media for community power, cultural expression, and political change. With the country being fractured around issues of race, tolerance, immigration, and civil liberties, GAP’s young storytellers play an important role in diversifying the national conversation by offering perspectives not frequently covered in mass media.
