Watching this in 2020, I'm wondering how far Mr. Walk has gotten in his quest?
Great work! I want to learn from the two of you!
These BYA 2019 Highlights capture so much of the great spirit of celebrating bold youth leadership that we experience every year at Brower Youth Awards. What work could be better than this!? This year's group of extraordinary young women tells us so much about intersectional activism toward a world we all can share!
amazing inspiration!
Charlie will make a superb head of the EPA.
there are two comments on this video.
The sound of your sniffle will never change. Such a nostalgic sound. Good for you! Congrats!
Really well thoughtful. You anchored me with your emotional tribute for your sister and you shared your pain to fight the coal corporations.
Stevie, you are a rockstar! On behalf of my kids and generations to come, thank you for being forward thinking and protecting our planet.🌍
We are so honored to call this wonderful young man our son! He and his co-organizers are hard-working, passionate, driven and caring individuals and we're proud of the work they do to bring about political action on climate change. Keep up the great work!
The BYA evening on October 16th was phenomenal, and this video captures the spirit that all of this year's winners bring to their pioneering work. Every year is inspiring beyond words.
Phenomenal ! ❤❤❤
