💬 "It's more important than ever that young people have the opportunity to have our say on issues that affect us and voting in elections is a great opportunity to make a difference" ⬇️ Here's what Renfrewshire North & West MSYP, @OmarMSYP, had to say for #WelcomeToYourVote Week

In my opinion Gavin's priorities are exactly what SYP needs going into the 2nd half of our term - will be voting Gavin #1 for board at the upcoming AGM and urge other msyps to consider doing the same!

glad to be elected as the convenor of the social security committee at our meeting tonight, excited to get to work with Hamish Fraser MSYP as depute and the rest of our members!

I’m calling for GOV.UK to scrap the #RefugeeBanBill and open safe routes to asylum for people fleeing war, torture and persecution. Children have a right to safety and protection under the the UNCRC no matter their country of origin, this right must be upheld.#AyeWelcomeRefugees
