2024: The Class of Activism

2024 is a movement centered around creating concrete strategies that encourage individuals to enter into the activism space. We are a group of members of the high school class of 2020 and allies striving to make the work of activists and organizers easier by providing resources to increase impact, craft rhetoric, and build grassroots power. This includes explaining different policy proposals, talking about current events, having intimate discussions about unjust systems, and learning about effective avenues for activism.
