Young people are shaping the future of New York City—it's time for mayoral candidates to listen. Join us for Youth Take the Mic: NYC Youth Mayoral Forum, a youth-led, youth-centered event where young activists from across NYC will challenge candidates on the issues that matter most.

What to Expect:

Candidate Forum: Youth activists will directly question mayoral candidates on education justice, climate justice, public safety, and housing insecurity.
Civic Engagement: Register to vote, experience Ranked Choice Voting with a mock ballot, and rank the candidates.
Youth Activist Art Exhibition: View powerful artwork created by young leaders, reflecting their advocacy and lived experiences.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from the next generation of changemakers and ensure youth voices are at the center of NYC’s future.
