“We don’t have to kill someone to get our point across.”These words, shared by one of our ReACTION youth during a past march in Brooklyn, still echo today—especially as our young leaders continue to shape the future of gun violence prevention.This week, ReACTION students joined policy experts, advocates, and changemakers at the NYC Mayoral Forum on Gun Violence. The room was full of power, purpose, and possibility—with youth leaders playing an essential role in the conversation.At NYAGV, we don’t just speak for youth—we make space for them to lead.Their voices. Their vision. Their future.#ReACTIONYouth #NYAGV #YouthVoicesMatter #EndGunViolence #GunSafetyNow #yourvoteyourvoice (fb)

From the green room to the grassroots—last night’s NYC Mayoral Forum on Gun Violence brought together youth leaders, policy experts, and changemakers under one roof. When we say ‘Your Vote is Your Voice,’ this is what we mean. Thank you to @blakefornyc, @brad.lander, @zellnormyrie, and @whitneytilsonofficial that showed up for all of us to share your plans. And Thank you to @thenewschool and @teamtrace along with our incredible partners, speakers, and young advocates who made the night unforgettable.” #NYCMayoralForum #GunViolencePrevention #YouthVoices #NYAGV #YourVoteIsYourVoice (fb)
