Strategy is the oxygen. Youth-led movements have proven that they can disrupt the status quo — but how do we transform a moment of disruption into a brighter future for our planet and its inhabitants? Join the first session of a webinar series that unites people who are part of the most influential youth-led uprisings. Together, participants will learn about six global youth-led movements, examining their origins and infrastructure, failures, and the promise of intersectional solidarity. We will dream together, exploring how individual youth-led movements might create a united front. The future isn’t waiting. It is organizing. This webinar is the first in the three-part For Youth, By Youth Global Webinar Series. The Spring 2026 series focuses on Youth-led Movement-building for Conscious Leadership and Global Solidarity.
