Why does NAMSS have a new page?

NAMSS had security issues with our previous page that blocked our team from posting images and videos, which impacts how our posts appear in your Facebook feed. After exhausting every avenue to contact Meta (Facebook’s parent company) and find a solution, our only way forward is to create a new page so we can once again promote NAMSS initiatives to the best of our ability.
