Be the Change is a series of wonderful, passionate, eye-opening guest posts from fellow Generation Yers. I began this series in order to bring light to the positive contributions of my generation, and the potential I see in them to truly care about social issues and participate actively in social change and activism. Read the posts below to learn about some of the most critical issues facing us today, what we must do to solve them, and the deepest moral questions activists and social change-rs encounter while engaging in this work. I am blown away by the amazing posts I’ve received — it’s truly a testament to the fact that our generation is intelligent, engaged, and passionate about bettering our world. Enjoy, and be inspired!
