FREDDY PUZA'S CAMPAIGN STATEMENT REGARDING THE PUBLIC SERVICE FAIR AT CULVER CITY HIGH SCHOOL
OCT. 16 - There are many ways that CCHS students can complete their required community service hours; and volunteering during a local election has long been one of them.
My campaign emailed CCHS recently asking what the current process is for informing students about volunteering on a local campaign. The response was an invitation to attend a Military and Public Service Fair to provide students with an opportunity to sign up to volunteer. We attended the event and left on our own accord. We did not bring voter registration forms and did not ask for votes. I do understand how this could be seen as campaigning (despite the fact that the majority of the students there were not of voting age).
The challenges we face as a city are significant and will take all of us to achieve meaningful progress. I encourage everyone who believes in the existential threat of climate change, data-driven solutions for affordable housing, and the imperative to house and heal our unhoused population, to step up and get involved. Our community needs to work together to address these and other important issues.
