Tonight on TheUSAPodcast we will discuss the history of young people in activism and why it is so important for the younger generations to evoke serious change.
What movements in the past have the young been able to sway? Why are the powers that be trying to trivialize the situation or treat young people as if they should have no say in governmental affairs?
We also will be speaking the importance of what many of the survivors of the Parkland Massacre are doing as far as activism!

Tonight we will also be discussing the power of revolution in the midst of tragedy!
