Part 1 of 2 where I share the 25-17th ranked articles you, the reader, read most in 2024 on Let's Address This with Qasim Rashid

As we close out 2024, I am privileged to share a top 25 list of the articles you read the most this year. When I launched Let’s Address This just over eight months ago, I did not expect to close the year publishing more than 265 articles, with nearly 12 million reads, more than 90,000 amazing followers, and subscribers from all 50 states and 140 countries. Make no mistake—this became possible due to your support. For that, I am both grateful and encouraged to continue into 2025 and beyond.

I hope you enjoy this recap, continue to share this human rights content, and join our growing community as a paid subscriber to further elevate our advocacy. Let’s Address This.

As you review these articles below, you’ll no doubt notice the breadth of human rights topics we cover from local to global. Feel free to share, comment below which articles were most meaningful to you, and even what you would like to see more of in 2025.
