Our Time: Teens and Politics
We grew up in America after 9/11. Our world is full of disasters. But we know how to make up our minds. Now it's our time to either step up, or sit out. We're deciding if we want to join the military. We're deciding if we want to protest something. We're fighting wars in our own lives, every day.
Teens share our stories, in our words.
Jenny Asarnow is our curator, producer and editor.
Amina Al–Sadi is our host. She is a freshman at the University of Washington and a graduate of KUOW's Weekday High. She loves to read, write and share what she learns, especially when that helps us understand our multicultural society.
