Shirin Ebadi, 2003 Nobel Peace Laureate, is a strong believer in the power that Social Media has to create positive social change. In this video she expresses that sentiment and urges youth to go to www.peacejam.org to stay up to date on the latest social issues and what can be done to impact our world in a positive way.

She's very right about how this new way of sharing information will totally change our world, and if used properly can be huge for social justice. posted 4/23/2010 at 11:55 AM Kayla P wrote: Love it!
