Today the League will be participating in a Live TownHall Forum w/ the President. Executive Director of LYVEF, Rob ‘Biko’ Baker and Director of Creative Strategy @ Cashmere Agency will be attending this event at the White House together representing young voters and stakeholders in the community. This townhall is the chance for us to remind the administration that we need decisive, youth-oriented solutions to our employment and electoral woes. We need your help to make sure that our voices are heard during this first-of-its-kind media event.

Obama’s Twitter Townhall will stream live at 2 p.m. EDT / 1 p.m. CDT at askobama.twitter.com and wh.gov/live. The League’s communications team will lead the mob online, tweeting our questions, concerns and comments to @TownHall. While many have written us off as disengaged and apathetic, the truth is that we have the potential to beat any corporate bad guy or Wall Street Bankster that stands in our way. There is power in numbers and because this event takes place via Twitter, we have a perfect opportunity to amplify our message and make sure that president and his staff hear us out.
