High school and college students speak out,

|

c/o ANSWER Coalition:

One of the distinctive features of the March 20 mobilizations was the large participation from high school students, college students and other young people, including those in the armed forces. The mobilization brought a new generation of activists into political life. These students worked hard to do outreach and fundraising so they could attend the demonstrations, and contributions from many individuals helped to provide those who needed with scholarships.

Here is what some of the high school and college students who mobilized for the National March on Washington, as well as for the joint demonstrations in Los Angeles and San Francisco, have to say:

It was my first time marching so it was really really awesome. I felt that I had a lot of energy and I felt that if I have the power to make a difference, I will do it and I will make my voice heard. And I hope that people listen to our message and that they bring our troops home.
