GLAAD\u2019s inaugural 20 Under 20 list is presented exclusively by Teen Vogue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/20-under-20\/\">GLAAD\u2019s Rising Stars Program<\/a>, which was launched in 2017, celebrates young people\u2019s commitment to enhancing LGBTQ representation within their communities and culture at large. As an extension of GLAAD\u2019s Rising Stars program, the 20 Under 20 list seeks to celebrate and spotlight the next generation of LGBTQ leaders in media advocacy, including journalists, actors, musicians, activists, and other young change agents.<\/p>\n<p>The inaugural 20 Under 20 list demonstrates the diversity of communities, identities, and causes that Generation Z activists embody. From advocating for racial justice, to climate action, to Title IX protections, the 20 Under 20 Honorees are carrying on the legacies of the advocates that came before them before them and are using media, entertainment, and digital platforms to share their vision and incite action.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Teen Vogue is proud to present <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/glaad?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GLAAD<\/a>&#8216;s inaugural <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/20under20?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#20under20<\/a> list: a diverse collection of 20 young LGBTQ people shaping the future of media + activism, and inspiring countless others along the way!<\/p>\n<p>Meet them all \u21aa <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2gfDortEFN\">https:\/\/t.co\/2gfDortEFN<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/W5t2ZNlSyQ\">pic.twitter.com\/W5t2ZNlSyQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Teen Vogue (@TeenVogue) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeenVogue\/status\/1275052231558078464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 22, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Youth activists have long been leaders in advocacy movements. From civil rights protests and boycotts, to the Flint water crisis, and gun reform advocacy in the wake of countless school shootings, young people are responding to the crises and calling for change. It should not go unnoticed that many of the leaders in these movements, historically and now, are members of the LGBTQ community. The 20 Under 20 Honorees are following in the footsteps of thousands of notable LGBTQ leaders like\u00a0Sylvia Rivera, James Baldwin, Marsha P. Johnson, Larry Kramer, Laverne Cox, Angela Davis, George Takai, Alicia Garza, and so many more. Today\u2019s young activists are representing their generation proudly by forging new and innovative paths towards justice.<\/p>\n<p>Full profiles of the <a href=\"\/20-under-20\/2020\/\">20 Under 20 honorees<\/a> can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teenvogue.com\/gallery\/glaad-20-under-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TeenVogue.com<\/a>.
