What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:

Me and the fellow eighth grade from LREI visited the United Nations in NYC. This is one of or if not the most important buildings in New York City, this is where all the presidents meet to discuss wars and to maintain peace. Fun fact, the three big things that are inside of the UN are all donated by other countries. We were able to get this amazing tour because of our wonderful tour guide who showed us around the building. Throughout this whole tour, my topic of Gun Violence in NYC was brought up rarely, our tour guide talked about the military budgets, this stands at a staggering 1.8 trillion dollars a year. Overall, this trip was amazing and would 100% recommend to anyone slightly interested in visiting the UN.
