City Rising: Youth & Democracy

Curated by Nicoda Adams

There is nothing we love more at YDN than youth voice and choice. PBS has released a documentary following stories across California where young leaders and organizers campaign for political and social change.

“City Rising: Youth & Democracy” follows the stories of youth leaders, allies and organizations as they challenge institutional and systemic issues through civic engagement. This third season of the “City Rising” series will demystify the role and work of youth organizations in California, demonstrating how young people are organizing their communities to participate in public policy and make lasting change in pursuit of a more just and equitable future for themselves and the world they live in.

Check out the documentary for free here.
