Luke Burgess
Luke Burgess is a 16 year old Briton living in Dorset,UK. Burgess is a Palestine activist that started the 'Long live Palestine boycott Israel' campaign on the popular app buycott. Burgess is quoted in saying 'At first I made it for myself as I needed to remember all the companies to boycott when shopping within a few days I got around 100 members I never was really looking to do it for other people until the 50 day war in Gaza (2014) and suddenly my campaign had a massive boom I was getting 10's of thousands of members everyday, that Is when I put in the hard work updating my list everyday replying to the dozens of messages and email I got. It was amazing, I was making real change within a few months my numbers grew to 405,000 (09/14).'

Along with this work Burgess is doing work with his MP and wants to be an MP when he is older, this is because he wants to be able to make change and have the power to help others. Currently he is at Corfe Hills school starting his A-Levels he is doing Psychology, Sociology, Government and Politics and Philosophy and Ethics. He hopes to go on to study Politics at University.
