Youth Activists Rally At The White House, Calling For Action On Climate And Racial Issue
Youth activists shut down central Washington D.C. this morning to demand political action on climate change, immigration, and racial issues. “Our Generation, Our Choice” allowed multiple movements to join forces on the streets and rally around political injustices.
“Youth as a collective are in crisis and face all kinds of obstacles in achieving our own potential. We are standing here collectively — which is not something we see all the time — to be here with one voice,” said Varshini Prakash, regional networks coordinator at Divest Student Network. “We need our politicians to follow our lead… and start making real changes on polices and the way our country is run.”
