PANDEMIC TOWN HALL FOR YOUTH
In this unique and nonpartisan virtual Town Hall, Rep. Meyer, representing NC House District 50 (Orange and Caswell Counties), takes questions from youth, teachers, child-care providers, youth ministers, and others who work with youth. The Town Hall emphasis is on youth--contributions they can make to their communities, how to better serve youth during a pandemic, and questions youth have for their state representative.
Rep. Meyer is a social worker who has spent his career working in North Carolina’s public schools.
The “Pandemic Town Hall for Youth” is prompted by the civic issues and opportunities for youth raised in THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW: A BRIGHT DAY AT THE STATE CAPITOL, an award-winning children’s book about how laws are made in state government and endorsed by former Gov. Jim Hunt and teachers, parents, and professors of education.
This second Pandemic Town Hall follows a successful first Town Hall that featured NC state Senator Don Davis.
The April 29 virtual Town Hall will be moderated by Portia Bright-Pittman and Dr. Calvin Mercer, authors of the children’s book and both with extensive experience in government.
