Ep 625: It's All About the Children with Carin & Sami and guest Daniel Rosen P1 on hmTv

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2449781/fan_mail/new] In Episode 625 of It’s All About the Children, hosts Carin and Sami welcome Daniel Rosen, co-founder and president of Impact, for Part 1 of a timely conversation about combating antisemitism in the digital age. Daniel explains why social media and online influence have become what many call the “Eighth Front”—a rapidly changing battleground where algorithms shape beliefs, narratives spread instantly, and coordinated voices can influence public opinion. He shares how Impact is organizing people of all ages to become digital activists, participate in targeted advocacy missions, support public rallies, and respond collectively to hatred both online and offline. The conversation also explores the importance of engaging young people, empowering adults over 55, building partnerships between students and senior communities, and moving beyond discussion toward meaningful action. Daniel, Carin, and Sami examine what makes Impact different from traditional advocacy organizations and why unity, organization, and persistence are essential to creating lasting change. Watch Part 1 of this powerful discussion about activism, education, intergenerational cooperation, and the responsibility we all share to protect the world our children will inherit. It’s All About the Children is an hmTv production of the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, where humanity matters.
