	<description><![CDATA[<p><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We've already seen <strong>Gen Z protesters</strong> topple two corrupt governments this year, and the young people are just getting started!</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">First, they toppled the corrupt government in <strong>Nepal</strong>. They forced the prime minister to resign, they dissolved their House of Representatives, and installed an interim government to oversee new elections. Then, in <strong>Madagascar </strong>they forced their president to flee the capital for trying to run for another term, and so the military took over an interim government. They've also held massive protests in <strong>Morocco</strong>, <strong>Peru</strong>, <strong>Bangladesh</strong>, and <strong>Indonesia</strong>, to take on issues like corruption, economic inequality, and political instability.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Today, the young people in <strong>Mexico</strong> have attacked the riot police and dismantled barricades surrounding the National Palace in <strong>Mexico City</strong> because of the cartel violence. They feel like many of their politicians are complicit in protecting the cartels that influence their local elections and governance through assassinations and violence.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">And in the <strong>Philippines</strong>, there are hundreds of thousands of people protesting on the streets of <strong>Manila</strong> after it was revealed many of their elected officials stole the funds that were intended for flood control projects.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">I hope we will see the young people in the <strong>US</strong> being inspired by the actions of their peers across the globe, and take to the streets to help us protest our corrupt government here. <strong>Gen Z</strong> has their future at stake, so my only question is </span><i><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">"Who is next???"</span></i><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"> </span><span class="x1xsqp64 xiy17q3 x1o6pynw x19co3pv xdj266r xjn30re xat24cr x1hb08if x2b8uid xexx8yu xcaqkgz x18d9i69 xbwkkl7 x3jgonx x1bhl96m" style="background-image:url(&quot;denied:https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t5f/1/16/270a.png&quot;);background-size:16px 16px;cursor:default;white-space:pre-wrap;" data-testid="emoji">✊</span><br /><a class="x1fey0fg xmper1u x1edh9d7" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gen_Z_protests"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gen_Z_protests</span></a></p>]]></description>
