DESCRIPTION:On Thursday, February 26th at 7:00pm, the Bay Area Urban Debate League 
 (BAUDL) and Standing To Represent Our Next Generation (STRONG) will host 
 the first public debate event in the Strength In Debate Series, featuring 
 the most talented orators in Oakland high schools, at St. Augustine's 
 Episcopal Church in downtown Oakland.  BAUDL students have been hard at 
 work all year honing their debating skills, researching the most important 
 political and social issues facing their generation, and developing the 
 power of their words to make positive changes in their communities. \n\nThe 
 purpose of the Strength in Debate Series is to showcase the exceptional 
 talent of these students and to reward their dedication and commitment to 
 argument and advocacy.  Eight Oakland high school students will face off to 
 debate about engaging and controversial issues and to propose solutions to 
 such important problems as global warming and urban decay.  The evening 
 promises to be both exciting and informative  -- these young people have a 
 lot to tell us about urgent matters and they are more than ready to speak 
 their minds.  No matter how the arguments play out, all of these students 
 are winners and deserve to be recognized and celebrated!  So please, bring 
 your friends and family and come witness the brilliance and devotion of 
 tomorrow's leaders as they square off against each other in a stimulating 
 collision of intellect. \n\nThe event will take place at St. Augustine's 
 Episcopal Church at 525 29th St, Oakland, CA 94609.  For more information,
