Do not fall victim to how you currently feel, instead become a victor. In a year, when you look back, you will be in a completely different position and it will step from this very decision.#empowerhour#beresilient

In 2012, Malala Yousafzai started speaking out for girls’ education in Pakistan. In October that same year, on her way home from school, a masked gunman boarded her school bus and asked, “Who is Malala?” He shot her on the left side of her head. And after her recovery, she made the choice to continue as an activist, risking her life every day to fight for the cause she has dedicated her life to.
To join her fight and follow her story, give her a follow on Twitter and Instagram.

Gorman’s activist political poetry made her the youngest poet to perform at a presidential inauguration, invitations to the Obama Whitehouse, and performances in front of Hillary Clinton, Malala Yousafzai and Al Gore. If that isn’t enough to convince you, we don’t know what will. Check her out on Twitter and Instagram.
We need to close the pay gap, and I love that this White House is leading by example.https://t.co/4NXoDLEMiY

On national levels this date varies a lot. In my country Sweden it occurs on April 6th. We're not just stealing the future – we're also stealing the present from other parts of the world. pic.twitter.com/kxFyLotRVs
In August 2018, Greta Thunberg began the school climate strikes and public speeches for which she has become an internationally recognized. The then 15-year-old Thunberg made an invigorating speech to the United Nations Climate Change Conference, saying that world leaders are “not mature enough to tell it like it is.” Despite naysayers dismissing her for her youth, Thunberg is still working as one of the most influential activists in climate change today.
Thunberg is still working hard to raise awareness and money for environmental efforts. Her social media is incredible to watch, not only because of the important information she spreads, but also to watch her story unfold- she’s going down as one of the most important activists of this century. Definitely give her a follow on Twitter and Instagram.
