Greetings Historic Highland Park!
October was a full month for the board in a really positive way! Two committees got off the ground this month, Public Safety and Outreach. We held a webinar titled “How trees can help foster a greener & more inclusive Highland Park” during which we learned from leaders in our region that work hard to protect our local trees in action and advocacy! If you were not present with us, I invite you to watch the recording. It is always truly great to hear from many of you through our committee meetings and to work with several stakeholders as fellow committee members. We are thankful for stakeholders volunteering their times on committees. Thank you!
With the holiday season here, and perhaps, some virus fatigue kicking in, please remember that our actions save lives. Our County remains in the purple tier, meaning we have more than 7 daily new cases per 100,000 residents or higher than 8% positivity rate. Try to remember that you are not alone and that we can save lives by keeping our distance, wearing face coverings, and being mindful of hosting or attending gatherings. Let’s have a spooky and safe Halloween, as well as a wonderful time observing Dia de Los Muertos and remembering those that have come before us!
Lastly, elections are also here! There is an in-person voting location at Occidental College and, in our neighborhood, there are official drop-off boxes at Arroyo Seco Regional Library and Garvanza Park. If you are not able to vote, you have an important role too in our democracy! Consider helping someone else get to a voting center or box safely or simply reminding them that we have a few days left to participate in our country’s democracy!
Thanks for tuning in to the neighborhood happenings by opening this newsletter. We hope that you will also join us at our General Board meeting next Thursday, November 5, where we will hear a report on the food distribution project plans and voting on various other initiatives to support neighborhood needs! I hope that we can all work together this November to bring in a joyful holiday season for all with true warmth, community, and joy.

LA vs Hate is a community-centered creative campaign to encourage and support all residents of Los Angeles County to unite against, report, and resist hate.
On this page you will find resources for everyone and anyone to help build community and remind your friends and family of the importance of standing up to hate in our county. If you are the victim, or witness of, a hate incident or hate crime you can report the incident/crime with 211 LA. Your report is confidential and 211 is not affiliated with law enforcement.
We encourage you to use the free artwork across social media, text, and email to unite your friends and family in the effort to recognize, report, and resist hate. No matter the neighborhood you live in or the job you have, the diversity of Los Angeles makes us stronger. The core message of the campaign is that the unity of all Angelenos, is what will allow us to overcome hate.
