Hey, y’all. Sometimes I call you DoSomething members. Sometimes I say “the DoSomething community.” Today, though, I see you as something different. Today you’re vigilantes for good. Today you’re warriors for positivity. Today you’re a powerful youth army protecting our online spaces.

That’s because members like you have stepped up over 16,000 times to anonymously flag hate content. You’ve told trolls and bullies, “What you’re saying doesn’t belong here.” Scroll down to meet some of the young voices creating a safer, better internet -- and world -- for all of us.

What would I call myself? Inspired.

Let’s Do This,
Ben, Editor-in-chief
