TOPEKA (KSNT) — A group of young Kansans are meeting to learn how to connect with local lawmakers on Tuesday.
The event, Youth to Power: Training for Legislative Meetings, is all about informing younger voters about how to make a difference. Loud Light, a civic action organization, is playing the part of the host for this event.
The organization’s goal at the 6 p.m. June 17 Zoom meeting is to teach young Kansans about how to build connections with local lawmakers. Group organizers said that young voters statewide are encouraged to join.
27 News spoke to Loud Light Organizer Donnavan Dillon. He believes these meetings are all about communicating with the State Legislature.

“I think finding that common ground in those conversations and building a political culture where we can meet those representatives, whether we agree with them or not, and have a good conversation that moves us forward is really important,” Dillon said.
Those interested in attending a future meeting are encouraged to sign up by visiting the Loud Light website.
