Community Connection Week of June 15th, 2026

Hello, neighbors! 

 "If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policeman, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected - those, precisely, who need the law's protection the most! - and listens to their testimony. James Baldwin
