The Community Initiatives of NY (TCIONY) proudly presented Conversation with the Candidates, a dynamic youth forum that connected New York City’s mayoral candidates with the young leaders of today. This impactful took place on Friday, January 10, 2025, at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, located at 515 Malcolm X Blvd, Harlem, NY.
This groundbreaking event, part of TCIONY’s mission to empower marginalized and underserved youth, offers young people across New York City the opportunity to engage directly with civic leaders and shape the future of their communities. Building on the success of last year’s Conversation with the Commissioners, which featured eight top NYC commissioners and over 500 youth participants, this year’s forum focuses on the upcoming 2025 New York City mayoral election.
The forum included NYC Comptroller Brad Lander (D), NY State Senator Jessica Ramos (D), NY State Senator Zellnor Myrie (D), and NY State Assembly Member Zohn Mamdani (D). Darren Aquino (R) sent a 22-year old youth representative from his campaign.
