12. Please also consider joining us for our next gathering on Zoom, this coming Wednesday, May 13th, from 12:00 noon to 1:30 pm. This extended session is dedicated to hearing from FBI Baltimore's Joint Terrorism Task Force about various online networks targeting underage populations, specifically those engaged in Nihilistic Violent Extremism (NVE). The goal is to make you aware of the social media risks plaguing young people today, and to share ways you can help to educate parents and those working with young people. Pastors, educators, and other leaders are welcome to attend. We currently plan to use our standard meeting link.
Join if you have time.
Thanks
Bill
