Perhaps you could ask your friend to send it to multiple news websites and ask that it be published. I know that lots of people are wondering what's going on but there's a dearth of information. That was so well written and conveys the devastation to peoples' lives. It needs to be read by millions. The election and then the wars are really the only things being covered.
