We heard from so many young change makers yesterday at #MarchForOurLives events around the world! It’s time for adults to keep listening and supporting the work these young leaders are doing, instead of underestimating their work and being surprised when they see all that they can accomplish! Inspired by yesterday’s activism and want to continue making waves? Consider starting a GLI Chapter today by going to bit.ly/GLIChapterApp to receive support and free resources from us! ....Repost of amazing graphics by artist @sogayjen on instagram!! #gunreformnow #youthactivism #youngfeminists #girlslearnintl (at Feminist Majority Foundation)

Una Torfadóttir and Margrét Snorradóttir are newly graduated students at Hagaskóli middle school and have been friends since kindergarten. At sixteen, they are both active feminists who explore creative ways to get their message across. In 2015, Una wrote a poem titled Elsku stelpur ("Dear Girls") which deals with issues that young girls face each day and sparked a much-needed dialogue on young women's standing in modern society. Margrét founded the feminist group Ronja at Hagaskóli which provided a platform for young feminists to share their ideas, get involved, and introduce others to feminism and equality. In their talk Una and Margrét talk about the need for women to take up room and what they can accomplish by doing so.

Even now two months later, I realize what an incredible effect [BALI's summer leadership institute] had on me, especially on my senior year of high school. I see the impact of the program every day in class, when I raise my hand to speak my opinions with ease, something I could not have done before."
