Arise's Formeeca Tripp attended a gradution event for the Opelika Housing Authority's Youth Build Program last week, and had this to share about her experience:

About 20 youth, ages 18-24 years old obtained their High school Diploma or GED, as well as vocational training upon completion of the Class of 2026 program. It was awesome to get invited to come celebrate with them!

It was a beautiful graduation ceremony held at the Opelika Chamber of Commerce. Looking forward to going back and talking with the grads and the community about HR 1 - healthcare and food access as well as voting.
