Young people want a voice in local politics but they can’t be heard without adults’ help, some say.
“People for a Santa Monica Youth Commission” will hold a public meeting at 6 p.m. tonight at the Ken Edwards Center, 1527 Fourth St.
A presentation will be given on current support and endorsements, highlighting the groups’ efforts in establishing a commission to advise the City Council on youth-related issues. A group discussion will take place on how to gather further support before a financial request is brought to the City Council budget meeting on Jan. 27. Many long-standing Santa Monica city commissions and boards have endorsed the effort.
The Ken Edwards Center is wheelchair accessible.
