Get your message out - Young people and campaigning

Kierra Box was still at school when she became one of the first campaigners to harness the potential of the internet in order to get her message out about stopping the war in Iraq. With a basic website, she and her fellow campaigners were able to sign up young people from around the world to their cause.
