Oh, Jay - this is one of my favorite articles I've read here on Medium! How did I not know about these organizations - and you and your friends give me so much hope for a more peaceful united world! I wish I can clap this 1000 times...I'm completely in agreement with you: I don't live in fear either, which inspired me about an article I would like to write.

Thank you so much for sharing this! New fan!!!!! Please write more of your future travels!!
