Michelle Obama has been working with "When we all VOTE" ]]> 2020-10-18 19:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchez_ca/tm8u6ubdzbk7vla9/wish/839172842 Camille Morales https://padlet.com/sanchez_ca/tm8u6ubdzbk7vla9/wish/857415750 After some consideration I chose to focus on Amanda Nguyen's contribution to society. She promotes the ideas of the Enlightenment still in our world today. Amanda Nguyen is a civil rights activist. She created an organization called Rise which is meant to protect the rights of sexual assault victims. She also helped create a Survivor's Bill of Rights in 2016.  This bill is aimed at helping victims go through legal procedures. Which has helped about 25 million survivors.  Now she continues to spread awareness with her organization and social media. Her goal is to establish the same bill in other countries.  She promotes the idea of social justice and freedom.

She is a young sweedish girl who travels around the world sharing her powerful message.  She is spreading the enlightenment ideas of reason, logic, and science. Greta skipped school and inspired a global movement to fight climate change. She is inspirational to so many people, old and young and I think she is very well spoken and very mature. Greta Thunberg speaks in front of millions of people all over the globe. Sadly a lot of people, including the president of the United States, attack her. She has won 7 awards including Right Livelihood award and this year is her second time being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

A main focus is that she and other women shouldn't have less education than men, meaning that both females and males should be educated equally.
