The meeting outlined key details regarding the event, which aims to engage youth in a fun and creative way while promoting the message of nonviolence.

The Lip Sync Battle will take place at the African American Performing Arts Center at Expo New Mexico. Participants are encouraged to arrive early, as check-in will begin at 5:30 PM, with the competition starting at 6 PM.
