About

Young people around the world are organizing themselves and demanding a more equitable future - the movement for Black lives, the international youth climate movement, the #nodapl movement. Young people have always been at the cutting edge of political movements for justice throughout history. But what does youth organizing and activism actually look like? How can young people become organizers? What skills do young organizers need? How can older organizers support young organizers - and learn from them in the process? ​​ ​Youth Organizing X dives into these questions - and more. ​Every episode, Matt hosts a discussion with a young grassroots organizer and an elder organizer to explore the ins and outs of youth community organizing and imagine what the future of organizing might look like through inter-generational storytelling.
