Thursday, April 20th 2017, from 7-9pm, at Binford Middle School (1701 Floyd Avenue, Richmond VA), there will be a community forum for youth to address political topics relevant to themselves and their communities. From the event description:
"The forum seeks to provide a space in which Richmond’s youngest citizens may express their views about decisions and actions that affect them. There will be eight short “lightning talks” by Richmond youth (from Sabot at Stony Point, Cameron Gallagher Foundation, Milk River Arts, Art 180, Side by Side, and Henrico HS) addressed to the panel of Richmond’s public officials (to include Senator Jennifer McClellan, Delegate Jeff Bourne, and Deputy Secretary of Education Holly Coy). Richmond’s youngest citizens will address a variety of topics that touch their own lives, including education, art, race, special needs, mental health, refugees, and the LGBTQ community. The adult panel will listen to these talks and will have time to respond. Children and youth in the audience will be invited to address the speakers and the panel in a brief question and answer session."
Free, open to the public.
