We’re in the spotlight, and momentum’s on our side. Let’s keep pushing.

Here are the latest news stories. Please read and share to keep the momentum going

Special thanks to Brianna Shaw for this piece: Leon set to reopen

And this piece:  Sparks debate

And to Alaijah Brown for her piece:  Welcome back

This is a positive step forward, but we’ve seen Leon reopen before only to be closed again. Weekends alone aren’t enough — we need evening/holiday access while students aren't present to declare victory. Leon County Schools needs to commit to keeping at least three of the five tracks open (Godby, Leon, and Chiles).

Beyond that, Florida State and FAMU should step up and support LCS. There is no reason for universities to close their tracks to their own students, and it’s unfair to leave LCS dealing with the full burden of community access and traffic.

We need to keep the pressure on until all major tracks are open and shared responsibly.
