WE DID IT!!!
It was confirmed that full funding for JCYC’s Japantown Youth Leaders program will be included in the budget the Mayor submits to the Board of Supervisors next week! The community came together and delivered over 1200 letters to the Mayor, called his office and spammed his Facebook and Twitter accounts. The $94,000 in full will be reallocated back to the Youth of our community and we thank all of you for all your efforts!
THANK YOU to everyone who signed our online petition, signed and collected letters, emailed Gavin, Facebooked Gavin, called Gavin, and tweeted Gavin to SAVE JAPANTOWN YOUNG LEADERS! Thanks to your collective efforts throughout this Week of Action,
The letters, a printout of the online petition, as well as a visual piece will be presented to City Hall by NihonmachiROOTS representatives this Thursday.
The fight to save Japantown Youth Leaders isn’t over yet. Continue to spread the word and stay tuned to Japantownnow.com for updates!
