Youth Forum on California Propositions Rescheduled
What: The forum will address California ballot initiatives and feature a panel of youth experts, small group discussion and instant electronic polling. The forum will focus on CA Prop 4 (which would institute parental notification and a waiting period before a minor can terminate a pregnancy); CA Prop 6 (which would divert money from education to the criminal justice system, allow police to target and label youth as young as 14 as gang members and then punish them as adults) and CA Prop 8 (same sex marriage ban). Eligible students will also be registering to vote.
Where and When: The forum is on TUES OCT 14th, from 10am to 1:30pm at the California State Bar Building, 180 Howard 4th Floor, San Francisco CA.
Who: New America Media, YO!, Community Justice Network for Youth, Ella Baker Center, League of Young Voters, Planned Parenthood, Students from around the Bay Area, and more.
More information on specifics of the forum's program to come.
