Falling asleep on the senate floorneeds improvement. In the tradition of Pete Buttigieg's Shortest Way Home and Greta Thunberg's No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference, this is "a call to action for young people to engage fully in public life at this critical moment for our democracy and our planet" (Jon Ossoff).…
