Important Annoucement

Posted on 03/13/20

The Voices Neighborhood Council is closely monitoring the developments surrounding COVID-19.

In an effort to reduce the spread of the virus, Federal, State, and City officials have postponed or discouraged large gatherings of people. Therefore, the Voices Neighborhood Council has postponed all of our sponsored events and regularly scheduled meetings through 3/31/2020.

We are working together to find creative ways to address the situation within our neighborhood. Please comment below if you have ideas about how we could organize to help our neighbors.

You can sign up for NotifyLA to get the City’s latest updates on COVID-19 (http://NotifyLA.org)

Let’s take care of ourselves and our most vulnerable neighbors—the elderly and the homeless.

Best,

Albert Farias and Jaime Rabb
Chair and Vice Chair of Voices Neighborhood Council
