Gen Z inherited a world in crisis but refuse to accept it as inevitable.

They’re choosing to shape the future themselves. For many, this has meant facing violence, intimidation, arrest and in some cases, losing their lives.

You’re never too young to shape the world.

We welcome the UN committee’s affirmation that States have a duty to provide reparatory justice for the continuing harms of transatlantic chattel slavery.

States responsible for these injustices must repair the past and its enduring legacy as soon as possible.
