Exciting update, everyone!
Our State assemblymember from District 61, Tina McKinnor, has joined the City Councils of Hawthorne, Redondo Beach, and Lawndale to throw her support behind asking the METRO Board to use Hawthorne Blvd to extend the Metro into the South Bay, with a powerful letter of endorsement!
We're immensely grateful for her support in this crucial decision-making phase. With her support, our voices are amplified, and our cause gains even more momentum. We extend our deepest appreciation to Assemblywoman McKinnor for standing with us.
But... the momentum doesn't stop there! As we approach the final leg of our campaign, we're intensifying our efforts to spread awareness.
We have been hard at work distributing flyers across the neighborhoods in North Redondo Beach and Lawndale, ensuring that every resident is well-informed and empowered to take action.
These outreach endeavors come with financial costs, and that's where we need your help. Donations to https://gofund.me/c3f70d66 (not Change.org!) are crucial to cover expenses related to printing, mailing and distributing flyers... as well as many other campaign necessities like newsletter software and QR code subscriptions. Your generosity will play a significant role in our ability to effectively reach and mobilize our community.
