2016 California Pluralism Video Contest

Here are the winning student videos. Hopefully these will help California's students and teachers to protect first amendment freedoms, reduce human suffering, improve college readiness, engage in civil discourse, and participate in democracy and civic life.

Can you think of any other positive outcomes from participating in the project? Did submitting a video help you to think about others or yourself in any new ways?

Hopefully this project motivates you in positive ways.
