On June 18, 2024,  a spark was lit.

What began as a cry against the 2024 proposed Finance Bill quickly erupted into a historic moment of defiance.

Young Kenyans, mobilised by nothing but a hashtag and driven by collective fury, poured into the streets in protest.

For the first time, Gen Z, a group often dismissed as apathetic, found its voice, one that echoed across the country and throughout social media.  In the days that followed, the protests would alter Kenya's political tone.
