     Vice President Kamala Harris, the likely Democrat nominee, has a history of proposing sound affordable housing plans that resonate with voters. Given how much attention voters are paying to this issue, she should quickly make them a central part of her campaign platform.

     According to the campaign, ever since President Biden selflessly stepped aside, enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris has been high. Across the country, volunteers are offering their time including in critical battleground states, and Americans have broken fundraising records as a broad coalition comes together to support VP Harris by donating over $81 million in one day, with 60% of the 880,000 donors giving for the first time this election. This signals strong enthusiasm to stop the Trump/Vance campaign and their extremist Project 2025 agenda.

     Since 1967, members of the law enforcement profession have consistently advised community members to call 911 when they need help, especially if they were in need of police assistance. Established nationally in 1999 with the signing of the Public Safety Act signed by President Bill Clinton, it was meant to be a universal means of reporting emergencies and getting immediate help to those who needed it.

       On this past weekend the Fort Lauderdale Black Police Association (FLBPA) hosted its inaugural Teen Summit, a groundbreaking event aimed at inspiring and empowering the youth of Broward County. The summit brought together well over 200 teenagers from diverse backgrounds to engage in meaningful discussions, workshops, and activities focused on personal growth, leadership development, and community building.
