The Oxford Dictionary word of the year for 2017 was youthquake, which is “a significant cultural, political, or social change arising from the actions or influence of young people”. Youth activism has always been a  powerful social and political force, shaping our nations past and currently shaping its future. If you want to be a part of a youthquake you can call our district representative Ted Lieu at (323) 651-1040, and our senator Dianne Feinstein’s Los Angeles office with (310) 914-7300.
