They have seen the failures in the school, the community and the nation and they have the courage to do what is necessary to bring about equity and more opportunity. We as adults, must take the time to listen and meditate on what they are saying to us, especially parents. We have to stop thinking we have all of the answers and listen to our young peoples’ stories and react with compassion, kindness and empathy. We as a community must lock arms with our youth and advocate for their future; we will not be here forever. Let us do the work today and every day!
