BYLP's Legislative Open House Presents: 2022 Candidate Forum

Black Youth Leadership Project (BYLP) will host a Candidate Forum on Saturday April 30, 2022. 

All candidates (in the Sacramento County region) on the California June 2022 Primary ticket, are invited to participate in this educational event. This forum will be held virtually beginning at 2 PM (PST) ending at 4 PM (PST).

The purpose of the Candidate Forum is to give BYLP youth an opportunity to hear candidates discuss the issues of importance to them in this election. This event is free and open to the public. 

The candidates will answer questions directly from the BYLP youth and others during this moderated event.

BYLP was established in 1999 as a non-profit and non-partisan civic educational organization dedicated to

developing California's next generation of public policy leaders. Over the past twenty-one years, BYLP’s

purpose and programs have evolved to meet the growing and ever-changing needs of Black youth. We have

embraced broader definitions of civic education and civic engagement, that focus on both teaching youth

about how our systems of government work, facilitating their understanding of power, and how it is leveraged

within these systems, empowering them by teaching them how to use their voice for advocating changes to

those systems, and direct action that helps protect them from said systems.
