Pomona — we have good news! 🌟
With enough votes counted, Measure Y has passed!
This victory would not have been possible without the dedication of our youth and parents who led this initiative for the past 8 years. Because of you — Pomona will now set aside 10% of its discretionary dollars into a children and youth fund and create a new Department of Children and Youth to protect youth funding for the next 10 years!
We are deeply humbled by the demonstration of solidarity by the community and proud of the leadership demonstrated by our intergenerational movement. While others vote from a place of fear and hate — our campaign and this victory stand in stark contrast, as Pomona chose to lead with compassion and invest in the promise of our future.
�We want to express our deepest gratitude -
💐To our field team who made thousands of calls and knocked on thousands of doors.
💐To the leadership of our campaigns grassroots intergenerational steering committee.
💐And to the 23,000+ residents who voted YES to bring this transformative initiative to fruition for the children and families of Pomona.
We’re proud to celebrate this historic community win with all of you. We look forward to working with City and community leaders to implement this initiative that voters approved overwhelmingly.🏆
