Young artists and activists are shifting our national conversations about issues surrounding civil rights, resistance, the environment, LGBTQ+ rights, immigration, race, class, gentrification, disability rights, freedom of speech and more. They are using social media, marching in the streets and using their cameras to explore their communities, families, environments, and human rights issues and showing us what it means to live in America with its unique cultural heritage, while envisioning new possibilities for the future.
