Deputy Mayor of London for Environment and Energy

Sometimes I have to pinch myself when I think about what we created with My Life My Say — the biggest youth voter registration movement in the UK and Europe. Being back at the Next Gen Conference with up to 1,000 young people at Ministry of Sound reminded me exactly why we started this journey. That feeling of being unheard, of thinking no one cares about you or your community — that’s why we built this movement. To create a space where young people lead the debate, shape the future, and prove that their voices matter. A huge shoutout to Melisha John, Dan Lawes and the rest of the MLMS team for their incredible effort.
