All our voices are heard and we don't just talk we actually do.

If you could be Prime Minister for a day, what would you do?

I would make a better school system so everyone can go to school and learn in a way that actually works, I would make action on climate change and let kid’s voices be heard, I would want to get all buildings and everything using solar and no coal mines or fracking, I would make everyone be treated and paid equal. There would be a lot I would do!
