Just like in Harry Potter
https://time.com/person-of-the-year-2019-greta-thunberg/ This makes me at the same time incredibly hopeful and incredibly sad. Last year I attended the Wallenberg lecture here in Ann Arbor where 2 youth movements were honored for their work against gun violence in the USA.
