Activism

At age 12, Bryant organized her first demonstration, a rally for Justice for Trayvon Martin after forming a group on Facebook [2]. “I started making signs and hanging them up around my grandmother’s front yard. They said things like “Honk for Justice” and “Justice for Trayvon.” Some neighbors stopped by and asked if I was planning a demonstration. I wasn’t. But that inspired me,” Bryant said to Vice News in 2018. In high school she founded the Black Student Union in fall of 2015, as well as in spring of 2015 spoke on a panel at Bernie Sanders town hall advocating for the funding of public education.
