Global-i
Global-i is a national youth newsbeat on global affairs – on the U.S. role in the world and the world’s growing presence in the U.S. This national youth voice is a collaboration between YO! and four of the country’s most respected youth publications, New York-based New Youth Connections, Southern California-based LA Youth, VOX Youth Communications in Atlanta GA and Gumbo Magazine based in Milwakee WI. Whether multi or bi national, bi-lingual, bicultural, urban youth are America’s new globalists. And Global-i is their voice.

It’s an institutional thing. What does bother me, though, is (Defense Secretary) Rumsfeld going on TV and saying that the abuse is un-American. Un-American? Look around, man. They need to look at what’s going on over here, too.”
