Youth activism is on the rise, and as students at the Jewish Community High School of the Bay in San Francisco, we wanted to join the movement.
Plus, with the divisiveness in society these days, discussing politics at school often can feel taboo. We wanted to change that, which is another reason we started the Young Activists Club to create the changes we want to see in the world
and to empower the youth in our community.
The club is a home base for political activists at JCHS that encourages youth to get involved in advocacy work. We want to do everything in our power to empower and inspire our peers to promote social justice. Even though we are young, we are the future. Our community, our country and our planet need us.
