Though the girls didn’t know each other before their visit to the conference, they are determined to form an alliance among themselves and to push their agenda. In fact, they expressed keen interest in coming to America to participate in our Go Run training. Perhaps an Australian sponsor could be found to fund their aspiration. Most fascinating of all: I am halfway around the world and yet I hear our strategies and messages resonate very strongly. These young women want a connection to democracy far beyond what they see in adults, and I truly believe they have a chance to reshape their homeland.
