I will just acknowledge here that it is very surreal to have this many journalists deem my and my friends' work as worthy of national (& international!) press features. Of course, none of the impact that earned this coverage was accomplished by myself; much of this was done in the SNAP coalition. Working with these journalists and helping them get the information they need to cover our work has been so inspiring, and I have the utmost respect for them.
