“We are hearing a lot of negativity about “boomer” generation. When I would go to protests I would see so many grey haired people I really wanted to show that it’s not just the students or young people taking a stand. Many of our retired and older generation are really making a difference as they have the time, the passion and often nothing to lose.”
