In partnership with the New York City Commission on Human Rights, The LAMP held workshops with 20+ teens from all over Queens. This youth video project taught the teenagers about the media's influence in shaping perceptions and provided them with a vehicle to express themselves about issues relevant to their lives such as bias, stereotypes, cyberbullying, and other forms of discrimination. These student-produced PSAs address the issues of bias, bullying and discrimination. "Words Hurt Anywhere" centers on a group of students playing scrabble, assembling letters that spell out discriminatory and hurtful words. Made by Anubhav Jain, Logan Blascovich, Hemant Jagadhesh Kumar, Ansh Jain, Divya Dayal and Abieraamy Jeganathan.
