Compassionate Action
STARTS HERE
We know that our generation has the capacity to make a significant positive impact on the social challenges we face. We are aware that our success is connected to how we engage with our elected officials, community leaders and the adults in our lives, who can support the projects and initiatives we believe can open the door to progress to bring about lasting change.
The Youth Igniting Change Alliance is currently focusing our social justice activism efforts on:
- Promoting policy reform to end our climate crisis
- Advocating for Portland’s youth experiencing homelessness
- Practicing and advancing inclusion, equity and representation in our schools and in our communities
- Speaking to other young people and students in other schools about what activism is, and how they can get involved and make a positive difference in their communities
