“When I was asked to join NLC, I was really apprehensive because I wasn’t super politically involved. But as I went through the Institute I quickly learned that it was more about building a community of people that just want to create a better world for everyone and I knew I wanted to be a part of that.”

“This group has challenged and supported me in ways I never expected. I am so grateful for the work NLC has done to create a space for us to get involved and create progressive change in our community.”
