We, the youth, are angry.
We gave power to a president who destroys this country and to politicians who are parasitic on our democracy. Corporations eat our overtime and accumulate wealth on our behalves. American politics have turned into an endless cartel of vested interests. Our future is within our hands! We have, in the United States, an imperial power structure built on the propriety of bipartisanship with a greedy pursuit of profits. We oppose the collusion of imperial interests, the threat of war, the monopoly of capital interests, and indiscriminate destruction of the environment.
