            What does activism mean to you?

            Bishop Desmond Tutu said: "there comes a point where we need to 
stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find 
out why they're falling in."

            That is activism.

            This summer, our Global Activists will be taking their 
campaigning to the streets. Across European cities, they’ll meet with 
decision-makers, speak about our campaigns at festivals, and help build a 
strong 'GenerAction' community of people demanding action to rewrite our 
future.

            No matter where you live, we need your voice to join the global 
call for change! Keep a lookout for ways you can take action and support 
activists over the summer.

            In the meantime, here is some of our favourite activism inspo to 
get you fired up 🔥



            Things we love
            ❤️ theSkimm started the award-winning #ShowUsYourLeave campaign 
to build a public conversation on the lack of paid family leave in the 
United States. It began by asking people to share their own paid family 
leave stories on social media.

            💰Gidimt’en Checkpoint and Indigenous Climate Action are 
fighting against a Coastal GasLink Pipeline that threatens indigenious land. 
The banks funding the project are being targeted in their No More Dirty 
Banks campaign and New/Mode explains what's happened.

            ⚖️Australians have just elected their first Labor Party Prime 
Minister in more than a decade. What's especially exciting about this 
election is the transformative effect on the country's political geography 
with the rise of Independents and Greens shattering the main party duopoly. 
The ChangeMaker Podcast has a two part episode that explains how grassroots 
campaigning is at the heart of it with local communities organising around 
shared values rather than political affiliations. Definitely worth a listen!

Tuberculosis and Malaria has saved countless lives through their work 
fighting epidemics in low income countries. But how much do you know about 
HIV/AIDS?



            People Changing the World

            My name is Tonny Silas Dauda and I'm a 25 year old ONE Champion 
from Nigeria.

            Tell us about yourself...

            While I was studying physics at the University of Jos, I joined 
a global youth leadership movement called AIESEC. There, I worked with other 
young people from Nigeria, the Republic of Benin, Denmark, and Kenya. I 
learned about international development, advocacy, and how youth can 
influence decisions at different levels. This eventually led me to become a 
ONE Champion in 2020.

            As a Champion, I'm part of a youth-led Africa-Europe Task Force 
working to foster a stronger cross-continental partnership. For over a year, 
my team and I have been meeting with important African and European 
political leaders to urge them toinvest in stronger health care systems and 
global access to COVID-19 vaccines. Recently, I felt the impact of our work 
when EU leaders publicly pledged important funding to help with both of 
these issues.

            Outside of ONE, I manage a volunteer program at UNITE 2030, 
helping young people develop career skills.

            What work or project has had a big impact on you?

            In 2018, I made a rather crazy decision that changed my life 
forever. I had just graduated from university and I was not sure what I 
wanted to do next with my life. I decided to live and work in the Republic 
of Benin for one year through AIESEC,even though I couldn’t speak the 
language and didn’t know anyone there.

            That year was the most challenging time of my life, but also the 
most fulfilling! Despite the language barrier, I was able to work well with 
my team and ran campaigns to engage youth action on the Sustainable 
Development Goals. It taught me a lot about the power of youth action. Even 
when we're divided by cultural or national differences, if we are united by 
a drive for impact, we can do anything!

            What motivates you in and outside of your work?

            Ending extreme poverty and preventable disease are the two most 
basic challenges every human needs to overcome to live a dignified life. My 
family has always been there to remind me that I am here to add value to the 
world and that I can make my own little, yet significant, contribution in 
making the world a better place.

            Outside of work, I love to hang out with friends, travel, and I 
enjoy listening good music over lunch or dinner. I'm currently reading Ego 
is the enemy by Ryan Holiday and rewatching Friends all over again for the 1 
millionth time!
