What does such a scene indicate about the rhetorical power of young activists, about their relationships with their audiences, and about the persua-sive tactics they employ to accomplish their ends? This book begins from such scenes, in which public and media attention rests upon children, teens, and other youth as they engage in acts of petition, protest, organizing, and public address. In some ways, such scenes are (or are made into) spectacles. Media coverage emphasized this: the New York Times led with the headline “Dianne Feinstein Lectures Children”; Rolling Stone announced, “Dianne Feinstein Condescends to Kid Activists”; and USA Today reported “Dianne Feinstein Criticized for Arguing with Kids.”2 These headlines exploit the surprising jux-taposition of a senior US senator—and a Democrat, ostensibly sympathetic with the activists’ cause—responding with sarcasm and impatience during a public encounter with young people and generate clicks from the apparent generational contrast between Feinstein’s age and the youthfulness of those confronting her.Despite its treatment as media spectacle, the encounter between youth climate activists and Senator Feinstein also suggests the tensions between sym-bolic power,rhetorical savvy, and material constraint that motivate the inqui-ries in this book. Media framing of youth activism often relies upon a familiar understanding of young people as potent symbols, representing at various times hope or naivete,innocence or exploitation, either the pure intentions or the utter selfishness of the young.
