hey, one millenial to another?

don’t just leave the gen z kids to clean up this mess. i know we’re all tired, i know we’re all exhausted, but we cannot sit back on our nihilistic laurels and leave them to do this alone.

it’s time to stand back up. it’s time to get back in there. it’s time to fight that fight, and fight it harder.

it’s time to be the adults we wish had stood with us.

I get so angry at people older than me who joke about how “your generation” is going to fix everything. I’ve been hearing it from family since I was 9, and I still get it all the time when I’m doing climate change advocacy. To the folks younger than me: Don’t be afraid to shut that down if people are acting that way toward you.
