THE ORG:

On October 8th, in response to the brutal murder of our dear friend David Newman at the Nova Festival, we opened a WhatsApp group called Let’s Do Something. That’s how five bereaved young friends put in motion something they never imagined: A global effort to uplift, support, and empower the citizens of Israel, and people around the world.
