  Children and youth of all ages can be effective change agents, from the 1963 Birmingham, Alabama Children's Crusade, BLM, to March for our Lives. The Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes that children have the right to participate in decision-making processes that may be relevant in their lives and to influence decisions - within the family, the school or the community. Children have a right to be heard. #NationalWalkoutDay #EnoughIsEnough http://time.com/5185819/student-walkouts-history/
