Hello Highland Park!
We had a great week in the neighborhood last week! There was a successful candidate’s forum for the 51st Assembly District election, and the brand new Sustainability Committee met last night! There were also some amazing things happening in the neighborhood, like Play Music on the Porch Day. This is a grassroots event that started right here in our neighborhood. On the same day, everyone goes outside and plays music on their porch. The event went VIRAL this year and many, many people joined worldwide. This kind of creative, grassroots stuff is what makes me extremely proud to be a member of our awesome community. Even though the HHPNC was not directly involved with this event, it still deserves mentioning and big round of applause.
Due to Labor Day coming up, this is a light week at the neighborhood council. There is, however, a very important joint meeting of the Land Use and Public Safety committees this Thursday. This meeting will address the future of safety and lane configuration on North Figueroa Street through our neighborhood.
Please remember to come out and see us at a meeting or event soon. All meetings are public meetings and we welcome community input on all items being considered.
We look forward to seeing you out in the neighborhood!
Peace,
Harvey Slater
Your HHPNC President

President Trump has been repeatedly teasing the end of the Obama-era DACA program (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and government officials recently said he is likely to
cancel the program.
In response to the President's latest stance, local immigrants rights organizations Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights and the California Dream Network are organizing a week of protests around Los Angeles County to defend the DACA program and urge President Trump to keep it in place.

Crossing the Border: Launch Party Reading
November 18, 2017
|
|
|
Avenue 50 Studio in collaboration with Regal House Publishing invites you to join us in celebrating the launch of:
CROSSING THE BORDER by Daniel A. Olivas
From award-winning fiction writer and book critic, Daniel A. Olivas, comes his first collection of poetry, Crossing the Border.
These narrative poems delve deeply into the many ways we cross borders of race, culture, language, religion, and privilege. With humor and pathos, Olivas draws from his own life and from the stories of others to serve as a witness to the great variety of experiences that make us human. With grace and eloquence, he invites readers to cross these borders with him on this intense but necessary journey.
