Youth-Driven Initiative Provided Unique Platform
LWVSA, in conjunction with the San Antonio Youth Commission, UP Partnership, Youth Do Vote, Trinity University, and many other organizations, organized a mayoral forum that took place on April 1, 2025.
This youth-driven initiative provided a unique platform for young people in our city to connect directly with mayoral candidates. LWVSA President Yvonne Pelayo along with other LWVSA team members worked with the youth to create an event designed to educate community members about the importance of local elections, share candidates' priorities around the top issues that matter to SA's youth, and inspire voter participation. A companion resource fair including tables staffed by mayoral candidates and community organizations including LWVSA provided attendees with activities, information, and FREE resources needed to make an informed decision and get out the vote.
