Dear Representative Ocasio-Cortez,
Paragraph 2 changes
I am captured by and a bit shaken up about your Instagram video where you call our generation badass.
People in the government never used to motivate youth people to fight for their rights, for new things to come, to improve the society system that affects all of us economically, mentally and physically too.

Paragraph 3 changes
One thing you said that stands out for me is: “Let me tell you something: you are the government!
Like, as a democracy, we the people mean you.
You are a voter, you are the government too.”
I think this is a powerful argument because every single person who works in the government is there just to work for us, to make changes in the community.
We choose them because we believed that they were going to make things better, that they would listen to what all people say.
That's the way democracy works.
No matter our experiences or ages, we have a role to play in the nation too!
We need to be heard, and youth should also be considerate.

Paragraph 4 changes
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 this video on Youtube called “Youth and Democracy here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-sRy5GTltw This video explains how youth people's opinions have been denied from politics.
Their voices are not included.
They are seen as people without knowledge or without enough experiences to participate in important topics or even make decisions that are being made for them.
We can see how both videos want to motivate youth people to raise their voice.
It is so interesting that youth people are not always willing to participate in elections or vote.

Paragraph 5 changes
One of my best quotes from this video is: “The negative stigma around youth from society that youth are considered inexperienced and qualified to make decisions on behalf of the whole nation.”
As I said in the previous paragraph, young people should be allowed to say their opinion and ideas to the people who are in power.
We need to all learn from each other.
Different ages are not an obstacle to making great and unique choices that can help our society.

Paragraph 6 changes
This is basically saying that youth people should wake up and demonstrate.
We also have great ideas that should be considerate in the government.
Our society needs to be more open so anyone can have a free opinion without being refused.

Paragraph 7 changes
I’ve also been learning about how young people have been the driving force behind social change movements like the Civil Rights Movement, Environmental Movement, and Black Lives Matter.
We see how teenagers have had a big impact in on society in the past too.
I think history is a good way to remember that our generation can make changes too, that we are not the exception.
I agree that we have so much work to do improving our society.
If we are together, everything is going to be easier.
