Tomgram: Liz Theoharis and Sam Theoharis, Why We Need Young Organizers Now
In a time marked by political and economic instability, young Americans face significant challenges, including a stagnant job market and climate crises. Liz and Sam Theoharis emphasize the importance of young organizers in resisting authoritarianism, particularly in the context of Donald Trump's presidency. They highlight the Young Organizers Survival Corps, a leadership program that equips youth with skills in nonviolent resistance and grassroots organizing, set against the backdrop of Alex Haley's historic farm. This initiative not only honors the legacy of past social movements but also aims to inspire a new generation to engage in activism and reclaim their power in a tumultuous political landscape.
