Empathy For Lived Experiences

"How can I help?" is the question for Sameer Hossain, who began his career at State in the Office of International Religious Freedom and has since moved to a similar domestic role at Homeland Security.

And it helps: If the US government doesn't say something about the world's atrocities, things often get much worse.
