“Moral courage, activism and engagement in real life, outside of social media is actually becoming less and less common. It’s our job to turn that around and reignite true activism and engagement.”

The youngest-ever Member of Swedish Parliament, Anton Abele, speaks about what motivated him to begin a movement against street violence in Stockholm. He is passionate about inspiring activism amongst youth in Sweden and abroad.
