What Punk Rock Taught Me About Politics and Resistance

Charlie's a graduate of Punk Rock University.

While my classmates went off to university that fall, I went off to learn from the school of loud, fast, and unapologetic.

Punk taught me that you don't need permission to create something meaningful.

The establishment fears nothing more than people who refuse to be silenced and who build their own communities of support.

In politics, as in punk, the most powerful thing you can do is stay true to your principles when it's easier to compromise.
