Teen Advocates for a Neighborhood Park
Some issues are best addressed at a community level. In this video, Misra, an 18-year-old from New York City, was concerned about how difficult it was for residents of her urban community to get to a nearby park. Using survey results and a youth-led press conference, she spurred local authorities to improve transportation access to the park.
Take Notes
After watching the video, describe the tactic(s) Misra and her youth activist group employed to improve her community’s access to the park. Why do you think her approach worked?
