Who am I?
Excellent question!!
My name's Cass. I'm a queer person from a quiet, rural part of the UK and, as of May 2025, am officially a #iWill Ambassador!
You can read about the #iWill movement on the other end of this link:
Society often fails to listen to young people's views or recognise their ability to make a positive difference - it's time for youth action.
Every #iWill Ambassador has their own focus. Mine is, as this blog's banner suggests, building solidarity, fostering community, and promoting democratic engagement. I believe all three of those things necessarily come hand-in-hand and are essential for a healthy, functioning society.
There are lots of ways I, and many many other people (maybe even you! Whether you realise it or not) accomplish this. Right now, for example, I'm working on setting up a new space for young people in my town, but I also facilitate events to get other organisations to involve young people and people from diverse backgrounds in their decision-making structures, but I also spend my Saturdays helping at the local food bank. These are all very different things, but to the same ends. Laser focus has its place in activism, but I'm interested most in the holistic approach.
For the sake of transparency, here's a list of the organisations I'm involved with:
The #iWill Movement - ambassador
Volunteering Matters - activist
The Green Party of England and Wales - member
Palestine Solidarity Campaign - member
Mermaids UK - donator
Mind - donator
Switchboard (LGBTQ+ helpline) - donator
