Advocating for Change: Lessons from Gloria Steinem & More

When it comes to activism, one truth remains clear: change starts with action. But how do we take that first step? How can young Rebels turn their passion into meaningful impact?

In our latest Rebel Girls Roundtable, we brought together three powerful voices for a conversation on advocacy, storytelling, and fighting for a better future. Feminist icon Gloria Steinem, environmental activist Nalleli Cobo, and disability rights advocate Keely Cat-Wells sat down with Rebel Girls CCO Anjelika Temple to share their experiences and inspire the next generation of changemakers.
