Jasilyn Charger
Born: 25 july 1996 (23 years), Eagle Butte, South Dakota

She was passionate about important issues like climate change, immigration and racism since she was little. Her family and friends always supported her and told her stories about being part of the movements. One of her friends started a group called "One Mind Youth Movement" that was fighting against racism. Jasilyn took part of one of their meetings where she talked about her experience working with only white men. She ended up going to Washington DC at "Our Generation Our Choice" march where she first spoke in front of people.

To bring attention to the Standing Rock situation she did a long run across the country with people she met right in that day. In 2016, she and a group of native youth ran 2,000 miles from North Dakota to Washington DC. They brought a petition with more than 140,000 signatures against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
