Quotes: Julia, age 20 member of the Last Generation activist group "What we are facing is the collapse of social structures of systems that support life on this planet basically and as a young person I cannot make any decisions like starting a family, like putting away money to have a home, like starting an education because what I am facing is collapse in the coming years." "The COP didn't succeed, elections in many countries are failing people. What we need to do now is... The last thing that we can do is sit on the road, there were a bunch of people, a bunch of people, there were more, we need to break the law because any other democratic forms of protest have failed us and it is... We are in emergency, we are desperate."
