Peace & Prosperity Youth Action Movement

This past week has been nonstop for our team, but we had to pause and give a huge shoutout to one of our incredible youth ambassadors and leaders, J’Kyla.

On Saturday, we traveled to Detroit for the Governor Candidate Forum in partnership with End Gun Violence Michigan, and J’Kyla showed up with courage and clarity. She spoke on behalf of youth across Michigan, lifting up the urgent need to address gun violence and directly asking candidates what their plans are to keep our young people and our schools safe.

This is what youth leadership looks like. This is what advocacy sounds like.

We’re so proud of you, J’Kyla. Keep leading. Keep pushing. Keep shining.

This past Friday’s PPM meeting was a powerful one.

We were excited to welcome Maya from End Gun Violence Michigan , who came through to talk with our youth about the Governor’s Candidate Forum and why their voices matter.

After the discussion, our youth and adult supporters jumped into a text campaign and together they sent 400+ messages out into the community. Their commitment continues to inspire.

As a celebration of their hard work, all youth participants received prizes, including fragrance sets, gift cards, and Crocs charms. A meaningful and motivating day for everyone involved.

Proud of this team and the energy they bring every time. 🎉🎉
