13th Anniversary: Remembering Pvt. Danny Chen

In 2011, Pvt. Chen was found dead in Afghanistan after weeks of hazing and racial harassment by his superiors. When he enlisted, Danny did not know about the racism and culture of hazing in the military. This year, we commemorate Danny’s legacy and tell his story in advocating for freedom to choose, privacy, transparency, and accountability.
