Covid-19 upended the first year after high school for Josiah Jacobs, Akil Riley, Xavier Brown and Michael Blue, but the 19-year-olds went on to organize a 15,000-person march in Oakland.

Last week on June 1, he was on a stage again in a T-shirt and jeans with a white backpack, rallying a crowd of about 15,000 demanding criminal justice reform. “Most of us here are young, we are hungry for change, and we want it now,” said Mr. Jacobs, reading from an iPhone, his voice booming over loudspeakers.
