HOPE youth hold press conference on social media

May 24, 2023 · 

The HOPE youth coalition is a statewide program organized to hold Meta, and the larger online community, accountable for the messages that we all receive. After three years of building this work from a grassroots level, HOPE youth leaders and adult allies came together to deliver a powerful press conference in partnership with Assemblymember Buffy Wicks and California First Partner Jennifer Seibel Newsom. This campaign is now poised to make a lot of noise across the state and country.  

Check out the media coverage (video format) from the press conference that does a great job capturing the event.
