Youth Activism: Tomorrow’s Protest Today

Season 3 Episode 310

Generations are just beginning their journey through adulthood and grew up with an unprecedented series of apocryphal crises. Rather than despair, a few have started movements that are ‘warming’ the world. Young people talk about their visions of the future and how they crashed through the limitations imposed by conventional wisdom to build movements that are powering change all around us.
