Today the Hoopa Valley Youth Council supported a youth lead action to invite and engage to community to be more proactive with the health and welfare of the students. They supported a NO SHOW and held a rally bringing many vital concerns to the for front and marched unto the school district campus requesting a meeting with John Ray Superintendent of the School District.
We Never supported a Walk Out, we supported the NO SHOW and gave an healthy alternative by rallying together at the Youth Center with food and drinks.
The walk out was a result of youth being forced to go to school on a day they wanted to be in support of their fellow students as well as a result of them not happy with their current school environment. We take full responsibility for the NO SHOW but the walk out is the responsibility of the youth that walked out, the school administration and the parents.
