Next week Monday, our city’s young adults and youth will have the opportunity to make sure that their voices are heard during this year’s mayoral campaign during the Vote 2 Live rally taking place in Birmingham City Council chambers (City Hall, 3rd floor).

The event is an initiative of Innovative Approach Foundation in cooperation with other community organizations and it is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. and last for about an hour. According to information provided by the event’s organizers, the candidates have been invited to attend so that the city’s young adults would be able to ask them questions the night before the city decides who they want their next leader to be. There will also be giveaways and spoken word performances as part of the festivities.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact Sylvia Bennett-Stone @ 205.283.6980 or DeJuana Thompson @ 205.706.7060.
