This November’s election comes at an intersection of unique and unprecedented events that give us the opportunity to not only vote our values but also our conscience and show who we truly are.

My fondest memory of Lila Innes is hearing her unforgettable laugh echoing through Cossitt Library. No library silence there!
We are at a crucial revolutionary moment in history following the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd, among countless others.

As great as Granby is, together, we can make it better. Together, we can help to end racism and injustice.
