Students may be oppressed, but we are also at a unique transitory period in our lives when we are more open to new ideas and the possibility of working for environmental justice than at any other time. Students need to work to change their conditions and build a truly just society, starting with where they spend much of their day, in school. If your school has rules that discourage rallies or other forms of free speech, perhaps it is time to challenge and change them.
Classes can be empowering.
Also, you could either do an independent study project by yourself, or with a group. In an ideal future, students will be liberated. Universities, colleges, and high schools will discuss the important environmental and social problems of our time and research the solutions. Racism, sexism, heterosexism, oppression of the poor and environmental destruction will all be eliminated from campus. Students will be pushing the rest of society to follow our lead as we work to achieve environmental justice.
