Revere and Everett host virtual discussion

  Recently, young people from Teens in Everett Against Substance Abuse (TEASA) – a program of Cambridge Health Alliance – and Revere’s Youth Health Leadership Council (YHLC), high schoolers who work with Revere’s Healthy Community Initiatives Office and the MGH Revere CARES Coalition, attended Kick Butts Day: Youth Day of Action, a virtual event hosted by The 84 movement. The 84 is a statewide movement of youths fighting against the tobacco and vaping industries in Massachusetts. During the event, young people participated in a workshop to prepare for meeting with their legislators. As part of the workshop, Everett High School senior Samaga Pokharel and Revere High School junior Hana Menkari participated in a panel discussion with Representative Danielle Gregoire (4^th Middlesex District), introducing the teens to what legislators do, learning tips to guide their meetings with legislators and questioning Representative Gregoire about her experience.
