Friend,

We are so excited to invite you to our very first “Speak to Power” virtual youth forum!

Are you a youth activist? Are you a young person who wants to get involved and don’t know where to start? Do you know a young person like this in your community?

Are you an elected official or community activist? Do you work in political advocacy? Do you want to know how to better support youth activists?

THIS EVENT IS FOR YOU!

Too often, conversations about youth advocacy are directed at young people, not led by them. We want to flip the script and put young people at the head of the table, talking to an audience of elected officials and other activists about what it really means to listen to youth voices.

Join us on November 3rd and November 6th to hear from young advocates across Maryland as they speak about what it means to listen to youth voices and what issues are important to them! The event is 100% virtual, and we will be announcing speakers and panelists in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

Session #1 – Listening to youth voices
Wednesday, November 3rd, 7pm-8:30pm

Session #2 – Policy Session
Saturday, November 6th, 10am-11:15am

Session #3 – Policy session

Visit our event page for more details and RSVP to reserve your spot!

The forum is free for everyone under 25.
All ticket proceeds will be used to buy supplies for our youth justice backpack drive.

Please share this email with anyone who might be interested! We hope to see you there.
