The Hope of Our Future: Youth Leaders In Their Own Words
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at The Commonwealth Club - Embarcadero
(see times)
The recent March for Our Lives nationwide protests against gun violence, led by teenage survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, were some of the largest youth protests since the Vietnam War. But young people have been fueling social change in America for decades, from the civil rights movement and Vietnam War protests to the undocumented youth and Black Lives Matter movements.
Twenty-two million American teens will turn 18 by the 2020 election, giving youth tremendous power during a critical moment in our nation’s history. What will the future look like under their leadership? When we create space for young people, support their advocacy and listen to their voices, they speak truth to power and we all stand to win. That’s why, for this event, we’re handing them the microphones.
Join some of the Bay Area’s brightest young leaders as they discuss the issues they care about, the policies they’re working to change and the tools and strategies they’re using to grow their movements.
Please see Club website for panelist information.
Location: Club Office, San Francisco Time: 5:30 p.m. check-in, 6:30 p.m. programNote: This panel is proudly sponsored by the Bay Area Leads Fund of the San Francisco Foundation and is the latest in The Foundation’s series on People, Place and Power.
