In addition to functioning as a note-taker for the General Assembly held at 2pm on that Saturday, Oct. 15 I formally interviewed five people, and spoke with countless others throughout the day. I’d like to note before getting into the topic directly that not everyone I spoke with was comfortable with being quoted directly or having their names used in print, so I have a limited set of people who I can quote and reference. Subsequently, their voices are disproportionately represented here. In the future, I hope to expand and broaden my coverage to more voices.
