how Gen Z is channeling their fear and passion to save America

Summary

Since they were born, Generation Z--those born from the late 1990s to early 2000s--have been faced with an onslaught of turmoil, destruction and instability unprecedented in modern history: the war on terror; Hurricane Katrina; the 2008 financial crisis; mass school shootings; global warming; the Trump presidency; COVID-19. And it shows: they are more stressed, anxious, and depressed than previous generations. But Gen Z has not buckled under this tremendous weight. On the contrary, they have organized around issues from gun control to racial and environmental justice to economic equity, becoming more politically engaged than their elders, and showing a unique willingness to disrupt the status quo. Here, Della Volpe shows the largest forces shaping zoomers' lives, the issues they care most about, and how they are--despite older Americans' efforts to label Gen Z as overly sensitive, lazy, and entitledrising to the unprecedented challenges of their time to take control of their country and our future
