My voice matters. Your voice matters. OUR VOICE MATTERS.
For the past 17 years, APAPA, along with more than 30 local and national, nonprofit organizations have organized one of the largest educational forums attracting spectators from all over California to learn more about issues and candidates and to become more civically engaged within our great state.
From the beginning, the mission of the voters forum was to provide a neutral platform for candidates running for office to discuss important topics and issues with the public - YOU. During non-election years like 2019, the forum features discussions involving dynamic, influential people who talk about issues affecting our local communities and communities across the state.
Today, we continue the forum's legacy and build upon uniting all of our diverse communities to achieve something far greater than education and awareness: solidarity in recognizing that together OUR voices are far more powerful than my voice and your voice alone.
Join our coalition of communities and help us show that OUR VOICE MATTERS.
This is an ALL AGES event brought to you BY the community FOR the community.
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
