YOUTH TALK DEMOCRACY

This summer, 13 teens from 10 NYC middle and high schools took part in Youth Talk Democracy, a think tank and leadership program from Let's Talk Democracy and Queens College. Over the summer they met with guest speakers, ran community action projects, and wrote four policy proposals on immigration in New York City. Come hear them present their ideas and find out how you can help advocate for them this school year! 

Legislators and community leaders will be there. Stay until 2:30 to give feedback on the proposals and brainstorm new ideas in small groups. 

WHEN:   Sun, Nov 15, 2026, 12-2:00 PM
WHERE: Queens College Kiely Hall, Rm 270 
              65-30 Klssena Blvd, Flushing
 

Our Youth Group, and the LTD Forum they coordinated, were recorded by and aired on PBS!
