Today is your last chance to vote in this general election. Be prepared to stand in line - take a chair, snacks, drinks in case. Stay in line if the polls close, you can vote if you are in line. Reach out to folks who may need a ride. Take a government ID. If it’s expired you can still vote, but you have 5 days to show a renewed ID at the Board of elections to cure.

There is a conversation going on to create a mural on an outer wall of the swimming pool. The mural will memorialize the work, commitment, perseverance, energy, etc of the Youth Organizers of YS Speaking Up for Justice, aka, the Wrecking Crew, during the George Floyd protest of 2020. Thoughts?
