There are a variety of ways organizations have involved youth in thinking and talking about social justice issues, one of those tools is video. Zoe Greenberg expressed her own thoughts  about class in her self-made video Enough, and hers is just one of hundreds of videos being made every month by youth exploring issues that they face in their daily life.
Since 1991, The Global Action Project has provided media arts and leadership training for thousands of young people living in underserved communities, from New York to Croatia to Guatemala to the Middle East and beyond. Their mission is to provide youth with the knowledge, tools, and relationships they need to create powerful, thought-provoking media on local and international issues that concern them, and to use their media as a catalyst for dialogue and social change.
You can visit their website and get involved by watching their videos, donate or contribute to their wish list, purchase their videos, or even host a screening party.
