Hi Eugenio, I enjoyed your infographic. It truly is inspiring that Ramon Contreras was able to take such a tragic event and great change for it. Gun violence has risen so much in America and we need change. It was interesting to read that he funded “Youth Over Guns” to protect minorities against gun violence. I also liked that you added a QR code for more information. Overall, great job!

Thank you for telling us about Ramon Contreras and his journey of advocacy into one of the biggest issues we face as Americans today. Much more work will need to be done, but efforts like yours and Ramons are where it all starts! Congratulations on your nomination!
