THANK YOU TO OUR
400 ATTENDEES

Thank you to the 400 attendees from across the Western US who joined us virtually on Wednesday, November 16th. Young people across the West experience homelessness at the highest rates in the country--these young people have and continue to create homes and communities for one another while systems overwhelmingly fail to create affirming, independent housing for them. It’s time for us all to show up and give youth across the Western US the resources and the supports they deserve.

Keynote Speaker
Michael D. Tubbs

What were you doing at age 26? Michael D. Tubbs was making history.

In 2016, he was elected Mayor of Stockton at 26-years-old. He was the city’s first African-American Mayor, and the youngest Mayor of any major city in American history. As Mayor, Tubbs was lauded for his leadership and innovation. He raised over $20 million dollars to create the Stockton Scholars, a universal scholarship and mentorship program for Stockton
students. Additionally, he piloted the first mayor-led guaranteed income pilot in the country. Currently, he is the Special Advisor to California Governor Gavin Newsom for Economic Mobility and Opportunity; the Founder of Mayors for a Guaranteed Income (MGI); and the Founder of End Poverty in California (EPIC).
