Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We want to join ALF because it will increase our chances of adding more value and reaching more people to deliver our message. We want to spread and implement a healthy way of thinking, knowing how to criticize appropriately, build correct arguments, and having a debate for the sake of hearing different perspectives.  We also want to provide a platform that builds a safe zone for arguments and inclusivity. We want to create a comprehensive approach to reach a solution. Thus, fighting radical ideas and narratives, but in a new and sophisticated way. We aim to reach as many people as we can, and joining the ALF will help us reach that goal. As well as inspiring generations to raise their voices, fight for what they believe in, and generally build a more open community that is able to communicate properly.
