        I recommend @YthUnstoppable as a very documentary looking into this huge youth movement on the climate crisis. It’s a large and deep movement. It’s been global from day one. And it’s genuinely youth-driven.

        This is awesome and, taking nothing away from her, this had been bubbling for a long time. We often put too much on the shoulders of very young leaders. It’s good to also appreciate how so many young people had been organizing and trying for some time.https://twitter.com/louisemac/status/1175132791996059648 …

        I find this picture so incredibly moving. This is @GretaThunberg aged 15, sat alone outside the Swedish Parliament Aug 2018 - the first school strike. In just one year, she’s created a wave that will change the whole world. Never underestimate the power of one young person 💜💚 pic.twitter.com/84oYgJpnLj

        It’s also unfair to these young leaders—it would be hard for any single person, even an experienced adult, to try to manage so much media attention and focus. She is rightfully admired, but being thrust into the role of a spokesperson for a very large movement is very difficult.

        The global youth movement on climate crisis is brimming with brilliant leaders. It’s been around long enough that some have a decade of experience even though they are barely in their twenties. It is wrong and disservice to everyone including the amazing Thurnberg to miss this.

        When I teach social movements, I start by unteaching what my students previously learned about Rosa Parks. She wasn’t some lady who got tired one day. She was a longtime, active and very brave member of a deep movement with lengthy history. The Hollywood version is disempowering.

        Especially today where we put too much on young shoulders and then later publish harsh profiles taking them down, where overly-focused attention is a fire that burns young movement leaders, I wish we would do better. Recognizing the broad movement takes nothing away from anyone.

        Replying to @zeynep

        Your education is a mess and you have no critical thinking. Greta is an innocent autist girl used because she believes the hoax and makes you believe it because she is sincere. She is also abused, and so are you. Look at what scientists say of the matter.
