The young people are hearing and acting on the ideas which are most important for their generation.
No longer will they let the selfish corporate interests take away their freedom to grow up in safety and to live well.
They are unifying and empowering themselves through social media.
They are connecting directly with the power of voting.
They are acting with intelligent dispatch.
They are sensitive to the needs of others and are working with each other to create better government.
Their mentoring is coming from within their own communities.
They know what to do and they are doing it.
It is a remarkable thing to observe the awareness with which they are imbued and the compassion which they are expanding all around them.
Youth and idealism and practical action are a formidable strength.
We are seeing the ideals which empower youth and the egregious suffering which they have seen so young combine into effective action.
They are sharing their trust with each other, and reshaping the institutions which have failed them.
They are working within the law to break up the sickness which selfishness and greed have turned loose upon even the young.
The desire to express the ideals with which they have been educated is turning into powerful and effective action.
This whole movement has begun from grief and trauma and is being enacted with dispatch to relieve suffering.
I stand in awe.
