Passing the Mic: The Importance of Student Activism | Michelle Andrews | TEDxUCDavis

As a student activist herself, Michelle Andrews shares her experience and urges students to understand their importance in politics and government.  Michelle Andrews is a third-year undergraduate student at UC Davis, majoring in Environmental Science and Management and minoring in Human Rights and Political Science. She is the Legislative Director for the Associated Students of UC Davis and President of the Davis College Democrats. When she is not in classes on-campus, she spends most of her time advocating for more equitable access to higher education and affordable housing, or enjoying the deliciousness of Davis’s Thai Canteen. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
