Youth Radio,

Once again you produce a piece that is professional and offers a point of view drowned out by mainstream media.

Grant Station is beautiful, well organized, and well curated.

A few questions about your process:

How did you decide to cover this topic in magazine format?

For the production team, how did you separate your feelings regarding the topic from the process to get to the finished product?

How long did it take you to produce this from idea to finished product?

How would you encourage other young people to document events in a similar fashion?

Always appreciative and in awe of the work you do.

Thank you.

Erika Padilla-Morales, Youth Worker in Oakland, CA

Congratulations on an excellent document and ongoing coverage. The photographs and quotes were deeply stirring. Julie Drizin @AIRMQ2 http://mq2.org

You have the support of a lot of people in England; we are disgusted and ashamed by our rogue police too, justice must be done for the victims. We pay these thugs to protect us not kill us. I thought your mag was wonderful; you are making the world a better place; you give us all hope. Darren

WE'RE IN 21ST CENTURY AMERICA AND STILL THIS CAN HAPPEN.... (I SEE YOUNG PEOPLE, AT LEAST, HAVE LEARNED A DEGREE OF SOCIAL GRACE AND COURTESY AND, FOR THE MOST PART, SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO TREAT EACH OTHER.) IT IS NOT THE MINORITIES OF COLOR OR THE UNDERCLASS THAT WILL BE THE TARGET OF OUR RISING POLICE STATE... WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THE PATRIOT ACT UNDER THE GUISE OF HOMELAND SECURITY / THE JETTISONING OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT AND SYSTEMATIC DELETION OF THE BILL OR RIGHTS & OUR CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS... WE WILL ALL BE SOON UNDER THE GUN. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE CITIZENS WILL HAVE TO SHOW OUR "PAPERS" TO FEDERAL AGENTS (NOT ONLY AT CHECKPOINTS) TO PROVE WE ARE NOT TERRORISTS OR HAVE LIBERAL LEANINGS. LAW ENFORCEMENT ALWAYS WANTS TOTAL POWER AND NOW FASCISM IN THE USA HAS GAINED THE UPPER HAND AGAIN IN ARIZONA AND IS SPREADING LIKE A TUMOR.....WAKE UP AMERICA....VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!!!!!

That was a really great documentation of the time and the place. I loved the last quote about the ugly and the beautiful. Thanks for preserving this so that we can learn from it.

I want to compliment you an an excellent piece of work that, I feel, respectfully covers an incredibly tragic event. Well done.

On page eleven your caption notes that 'two thirds' of those arrested were not local residents. Breaking windows, raising hell, and giving the finger in other people's town is going to help?

THANK YOU so much for taking the time to look at our mag. Your comments mean so much. You know, if you'd like to contribute to GRANT STATION then please send your photos to grantstation@youthradio.org. Thanks again! ;D

I thought the photo journal/online mag was beautifully done. Very thoughful artistry. Big ups to Ayesha and Wilmer as well as all the other indivduals involved with the project.
