Dear reader,

Thank you for checking out our project All Eyez on Z. We are in an unprecedented time in our history due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The concept of "community" is transforming as we spend most of our time online or physically distanced from others. Students at Roberto Clemente Community Academy in Chicago, IL and Young Women's College Prep in Rochester, NY have been exploring what community means to their generation (Generation Z). Along the way, students have gained knowledge about what makes a community, the role of government and democracy, and how to communicate through stories and visuals. Their Instagram page is in response to this question: How do our individual and collective stories from Chicago and Rochester expose both resiliency and inequalities within our democracy right now? This is what they want you to know.

We hope you enjoy!
