Where is the event?
Hello; I watched the panel on Equal Citizenship yesterday via youtube (thank you… I thought it was EXCELLENT and very imformative) which showed that 12 people were watching; can you tell me how many people overall were watching it? I am writing some articles on the current situation, and involved in activism with We Are All Dominicans.
Thank you!!!
