First it was a love for votes:
Shiny stickers worn with glee
In the ballot box with mom;
Bright confetti on TV.

Then it was the activists:
Doctors, Greenpeace, Occupy.
Their resistance changes lives

And now it’s the news. It frightens me.
But though I may be just one girl,
Pounding pavement, chanting loud
And studying, I’ll change the world. Natalie Wallington ’19
