Hi team,

 

Great work getting done around the globe as we continue to see incredible progress on developing tools for community engagement while expanding the content library.

 

We recently rebuilt the RACHEL section of our website, hoping to give a better sense of direction to our goal of collecting locally relevant content, making it available on any device, and supporting groups with the technical, educational, or community support they need to make an impact.
