Political hopefuls appeal to voters at student organized Q and A
Dozens of people participated in a Q and A session hosted by Reverend Khader El-Yateem at Salam Arabic Lutheran Church on Saturday, April 14. The session was conceived and organized by Bay Ridge Prep senior Alex Pellitteri and focused on violence affecting young people.
It was Pellitteri’s hope that the efforts would be able to help raise awareness and kick-start a local debate on the topic.
Attendees, who included students from a number of area schools, members of various Brooklyn-based advocacy groups, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, and concerned parents, were given the opportunity to ask questions of two different panels.
