đŁď¸ Quote-ovoltaic Climate Power: âIt is so easy to get burnt out in activism because it is very slow
For me, I think itâs so important that your source is something that wonât tire you. Something that wonât burn you out. Something that will fill you up.
That doesnât mean that you shouldnât be angry or you shouldnât be sad or you shouldnât be afraid or that those feelings arenât valid or if youâre coming from those places youâre not a good activist. I think that most of the time youâre afraid and youâre angry and youâre sad because of the love that you feel for the planet and for life and for the majority of people
I think itâs so important that we come from a place of revolutionary love.
That source of love helps youâŚyou donât just give up on people. You donât just give up on the movement. You donât just give up on anything because itâs coming from a place that doesnât tire you out but rather keeps you going.â âMitzi Jonelle Tan

âPeople need something to believe in. The role of young people in politics and movements throughout the years has been to hold the moral line, and not move from it one inchâand that is what weâre doing. And that requires us to say things that may seem crazy, illogical. But weâre looking at the science. And to us, honesty means looking at what the science says, right now, and even if it seems impossible, weâre saying, âThatâs whatâs necessary.â So thatâs what we go for.â âVarshini Prakash
