Please Mr. President

Our politicians realized that these big protests and marches were happening for a reason.

By Isabel 3. from Chicago in Illinois

Our politicians realized that these big protests and marches were happening for a reason. Black lives matter, march for our lives, climate change, women's rights. The mass amounts of people fighting for these changes and improvements knew that if things did not change soon, the world will literally deteriorate. The government is holding corporations responsible for their carbon footprint, real justice is served regarding police brutality, there is a police reform in training officers, stronger gun restrictions, and equal pay. People no longer have to beg and beg to get the government to take action.

2020 and the covid pandemic really shed a light on the government's responsibilities to the people. They are so lacking right now, I hope by 2060 we have elected officials that start listening to what the people are saying.
