Wraychel Gilmore: Renegade Politics, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Youth have the answers, and we need to involve them in finding solutions.

Canada's patriarchal political system needs a revolution. And youth need allies, those who are willing to leverage their political capital to include youth in developing better policies and programs.

In our legislatures, the House of Commons, the Senate, and the Prime Minister's Office, leaders are standing up to say that we need to reclaim our democratic processes. Canada's twenty-fifth ambassador to the UN, Bob Rae; Senators Stan Kutcher and Marilou McPhedran; Order of Canada recipient Irwin Elman; members of the Prime Minister's Youth Council; and civil society leaders are striving to make political space for the voices of those who actually know what is happening within our schools, mental health supports, and child protection services.

Renegade Politics offers stories of shock, tenacity, inspiration, and hope. It is about challenging the failing stagnant political norms with brutal optimism and conviction to rehabilitate our systems. With an increased sense of humanity and some genuine curiosity, we can bring marginalized youth into the rooms of power and create a more inclusive, just, and caring Canada.
