On April 10, 2013, San Francisco's very own YEFAB (Youth Empowerment Fund Advisory Board), YAC (Youth Advisory Council), YOUTH WARRIORS, and YOUTH COMMISSION were able to gain an opportunity to go to the State Capitol and do some power work for the state of California. There we were able to bring up numerous legislative bills to our State Senators and Assemblymen, and other political aids that concern youth issues. As youth ourselves, we know what is happening in our current community best because we live the life everyday. What better was it than to voice our actual opinion to our state representatives, and not have to hear from a full room of adults that may have the capability to experience youth issues currently. I am proud to say that our leaders were very pleased with our visit, and we as youth were given the opportunity of a lifetime. I want to thank Nayad and Prishni for bringing us there and the whole YEF for bringing us there as well. We hope to be able to do this again in the near future!
