GOTB for me was a great way to get involved with the fight for human
rights, and the support of people in New York City really motivated me
to get more involved with the fight for human rights in the future.
~ Cynthia Kaselis, age 15 (Dana Hall School - Wellesley, Massachusetts)
GOTB is a great way to meet people who are also interested in changing
the world.
~ Riri Veliz, age 16 (Dana Hall School - Wellesley, Massachusetts)
Most of all I found having our students exposed in a very tangible way
to the stark truth of the world and their crucial role in all of our
futures'.
~ John MacLean, chaperone (Belmont Hill School - Belmont, Massachusetts)
It was a lot of fun. The demonstrations were fabulous, and it was
awesome to see the hunger strikers. I look forward to coming next
year. Thanks for a great day.
~ Ali Jafel, age 16 (Belmont Hill School - Belmont, Massachusetts)
I have never done anything like this before and it was one of the most
remarkable experiences I have recently had. I would definitely do it
again.
~ Greg O'Connell, age 19 (Belmont Hill School - Belmont, Massachusetts)
GOTB was meaningful for me because it felt good to be doing something
positive. Knowing that I might have helped to do good in the world
made this experience worthwhile to me.

[Get on the Bus is a] great opportunity for young activists to come
together and share the same passions for human rights and social
justice. Absolutely essential.
~ Pablo Schuhmacher, age 18 (Noble and Greenough Norfolk, Massachusetts)
[Get on the Bus] was a chance to get out and be part of something that
makes a difference, with 1,000 people who feel the same way.
~ Samuel Barcelo, age 18 (Noble and Greenough Watertown, Massachusetts)
Get On The Bus is an event that lets you practice what
you preach - you get out there and "take action." Not
only that, as an advisor, I not only involve my
students in vital actions, but they get to see me
there being an activist. I think that Get On The Bus
puts the "active" back in "activist." Good job to
all!
~ Robert Nave, advisor (Terryville High School - Terryville, Connecticut)
