Laura & Vanessa Marano Visit the United Nations!
Laura Marano and Vanessa Marano are making a difference in a big way!
The 23-year-old and 26-year-old actresses were invited to a political forum at the United Nations about online sexual exploitation, a very important topic addressed in their new movie, Saving Zoë.
Laura took to Instagram on Thursday (July 18) to share the moving experience with fans.
“I got the blurriest photos yesterday, but that’s okay because we went to the flipping UN!!!” she wrote. “If you told me twelve years ago when we optioned Saving Zoë, we would be at a political forum at the UN, I…um honestly, I don’t know what I would have done, but I probably wouldn’t have believed it. It was a pretty surreal experience listening to so many incredible speakers talk about an issue that we need to find more solutions for. The internet can be an amazing, beautiful place when harnessed positively, but unfortunately, there are people right now using it for their gain while hurting others. Thank you @equalitynoworg for continuing to educate people on the subject of online sexual exploitation and fighting for viable, survivor-informed solutions.”
Vanessa posted about the U.N. forum on her Instagram, as well.
Laura and Vanessa also stopped by The Z100 Morning Show to talk to Elvis Duran about Saving Zoë on Wednesday (July 17) in New York City.
