"It is bad that youth are not politically active because since their not educated around civics they just seem to complain more and more and not do anything about it. That's one of the main reasons why we need civics, to stop the complaining and actually show youth how to get involved. Statistics show that students who critically think about their place in society grow up to vote." - Oscar Brazoban, Age 16, Snowden International High School
“So, here we are today
We realize the problem and offer a solution
We want to see change,
Painting murals, tutoring children, and making safer streets,
We understand, but what about other youth who don’t?
Imagine if students were at the table designing classes
Instead of letting these opportunities pass us, let’s work together,
Why imagine when we’ve done the work?
What is there left to prove?
We need civics in Boston Public Schools”
-Ashley Cotton, Community Organizer, Age 18
