“Youth Activism: Tomorrow’s Protest Today” presented by Common Ground with Jane Whitney

Common Ground is thrilled to welcome the community back to in-person shows at The Frederick Gunn School! January 7th at 4 p.m. for the first show of 2024.

“The future of the world belongs to the youth of the world,” the Nobel Laureate Thomas Mann said, “and it is from the youth and not from the old that the fire of life will warm and enlighten the world.” The generation just beginning their journey through adulthood grew up with an unprecedented series of apocryphal crises. But rather than despair, a few have started movements that are ‘warming’ the world, in Mann’s proverbial phrase.

In this episode of Common Ground with Jane Whitney, young people leading our journey into the future talk about their visions and how they crashed through the limitations imposed by conventional wisdom to build movements that are powering change all around us.
