What's The Point?

The non-profit Amplifier, that aims to inspire youth activism through art and design, has for the past few years run a campaign called We the Future. We the Future features the stories of 10 youth activists, and how they invested themselves in complete ways to a socio-political cause, examples including civil rights, climate change awareness, civic duty, and discrimination, and had a large scale influence on improving its progress. This information may be helpful in the development of components of Plot Twisters, such as role models.

Notable Quotes

For quotes, I think it's most worthwhile to take from the primary source itself:

Background Context

Amplifier kick-started a campaign called "We the People" back in 2016 to counter the exclusive and fact-dismissive politics of that year's U.S. general election. "We the Future" is an extension of this campaign that aims to inspire youth to take action through role models and education.
