Description
What is an activist? Why do we need them?

Even if you are small you can still stand tall and help out to make the world a better place for all. How Hope Became an Activist is the first in a series on how kids from diverse backgrounds have joined with friends to take action on a range of issues from saving bees to helping in a food bank.
