Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble

"I know part of my philosophy of teaching is to teach students to have a voice ... and to be activists for what they want. And I feel like I can't teach them to do that if I don't do it myself." #teacherwalkout #protest #teacherprotest #activist

"Chamorro described Nicaragua’s rebel students as key members of a broader coalition that would been needed to force Ortega from office through a mix of dialogue, diplomacy, street protest and economic persuasion." #Studentprotest https://t.co/e8odU76lUZ
