Ep#018, Why Young People are Getting Organized and Demanding Change
Claire Gorey sat down with Dirk Van Velzen of the Prison Scholar Fund to talk about her work as a 16-year-old changemaker. She talks about her A-Ha moment when it became clear she needed to get involved and be the change. Claire talks about her role as co-founder of her high school's Empowerment Club, as a chapter lead for March for our Lives, and her work to turn a Red district Blue for the first time in over 40 years. Learn how this 16-year-old was able to get over 200 people to join her for a community rally against gun violence and support common-sense gun reform. Join us for a conversation that will leave you inspired and confident in this generation of youth leaders whose work today is focused on getting our nation back on track because they cannot wait.
