Take A Stand: What is activism and how can you get involved?

At 11 years old, host Naomi Wadler organized a walk-out at her school to take a stand against gun violence. When someone takes a stand for fairness and justice it’s called activism. This week on NowThis Kids, we’re talking about what activism looks like and how we can get involved. 

Naomi introduces us to her family and talks to them about raising a young activist and what families can do together to inspire positive social change. 

What is activism? Correspondent Alejandro Alba explains how it breaks down into two categories, so you can figure out what activism is best for you. 

How are you being active in your community? We want to hear about it! Send us an email to kids@nowthismedia.com
