Janaye, I think the rout you chose to convey your research was done very well and made for a really interesting project. I was very surprised by how effective the law was and that it was executed well enough to have measurable results like low suicide rates. It’s encouraging to see a community desire to make change and to not only be proactive in making that change, but also have enough followthrough. I’m interested to see what type of backlash there was (if any). I would assume that a movement like this definitely received some haters. Thanks for sharing this, especially because of its happy ending, I’m encouraged that efforts to make environments better on the community level might actually work.
