And that’s a wrap folks! 😮‍💨 The 2026 SoapboxNYC is done featuring 8 NY Mainstage speeches ranging from more lunch time to eliminating harassment. @doechancellor, thank you for spending your time with us today. @vgreen_mikvaceo, thank you for your leadership. @civics_for_all and @nycschools, we couldn’t do this without you. @metmuseum, thank you for making us feel at home! And to all the parents, grandparents, guardians, Civic Partners, supporters, and friends, you showed us what community truly looks like. We’re in homestretch of #projectsoapbox season!

SoapboxNYC at the @metmuseum is finally here! Students and their supporters will be the “art” in the galleries as they step up on the soapboxes to advocate for the issues that matter most to them and their communities! #democracyisaverb
