From Chris: “As a chapter leader of AF Raleigh and part of the Southeast Hub, I have been able to organize around issues that matter deeply to me. I’m helping make my community a safer, happier, and more welcoming place to be. It’s has given me some of my closest friendships and helped me deepened roots in my community. AF has given me so much- I’m thankful to be part of this network.”
