National March and Rally for Youth Investment
In the summer of 2011, students from cities like Boston, Philly, Detroit, and NYC came together for the National March and Rally for Youth Investment. They banded together to fight for youth jobs and for education reform. These students came to the nation's capitol, Washington, D.C. to demand that the government pay attention to their future. POPPYN was there to capture all the action and figure out what motivated these students to march for their rights!
