Op-Ed: Take a coronavirus break, college students, and use it to save the world (via latimesopinion)
On the theory that no crisis should go unused, let me make a not-so-modest proposal to all the college students out there who are about to be told that their campuses will be shut down for the fall semester.

I propose that you connect with as many local and far-flung friends as humanly possible, using the hashtag “UsNow.” There are maybe 20 million students in U.S. colleges and universities. If only a fraction of you opted to take a coronavirus fall break, you could rival the number of students worldwide who participated in the Global Climate Strike last September.
