Dear Representative Ocasio-Cortez,
Paragraph 2 changes
I feel proud of your Instagram video because I know that there is someone in the government who can advocate for us while we are on the street.
In order to fight we need two groups: one in the streets to convince people outside to fight for their rights and another group inside the government to convince the government to vote for the law.

In order to fight we need two groups: one of in the streets to convince people outside to fight for their rights and another group inside the government to convince the government to vote for the law.
One thing you said that stands out for me is: “I see from so many and they actually take time to read and understand our history, the history of the labor movement, civil rights, history of racial struggles, history of economics, history of the United States, history of colonialism.” I think this is confusing because when we are fighting for something we have to pass things. Why does this thing exist? In order to win the fight or in order to fight.
I don't agree with you that when you say that the new generation is badass. One reason I say this is that there is not a badass who will learn something about what there want before they start fighting. All badass never do good things.
Recently I was looking at videos by young activists, and one of them is a good example of what I’m saying here.
I’m especially inspired by the video by Xiuhtezcatl because of the issue the guy is talking about. The issue was about climate change. In this video the guys did not advocate for a solution for no only his people but for everybody in the world as you do you are fight us and also for the new generation. In this video, he said that he works with young people around the planet to fight for their air water and atmosphere for their generation and also fo the next generation. This video sparks for me because it is about one of the most important issues in the world that everybody contributes to it and there is note anything we can do. But as we know when we discuss an issue that we don’t have and solution for it, we get the solution at the end of the discussion.
Paragraph 7 changes

Paragraph 8 changes
This is basically saying that it is our duty to protect all the things that give us life in order to make the future butter.
At least for the future generation.
I’ve also been learning about the youth revolution is also one of the most powerful things that never existed before. When I read it, I saw that there was imaginable. They used methods that no one thought about and no one thought it will be worth it.

I think this history is a good example of/supports/makes me wonder about something you said in your video: “you said that this new generation cares about other people experience.” I don’t agree with you here, because we don’t care about it. We just care about ourselves. We don’t want this bad experience to repeated in the future. If it has to repeat we don’t want it to happen to us, therefore, we have to fight to avoid its repetition.
Thanks for taking the time to read my letter. I look forward to seeing what you do or say next.
