The Youth Run The Vote !

On May 10th, 6-8pm young people from the South Bronx will represent by speaking out on the issues that matter to them most. It's not all about the delegates and what the media is portraying. We as young people of America have the right to share information with our communities. We want to tell politicians how we feel and what needs to be changed. Young people are being left out of the political process. The next president is critical to the survival of young people of color in America. So whose going to be our next president? not sure? .....all we know is that THE YOUTH RUN THE VOTE !
