🎃 SPD wishes a Happy Halloween to all of the ghosts, goblins and ghouls out there! 🎃

Remember a fun night is a safe night. If you see suspicious activity or a crime in progress, call 9-1-1.

Here are a few safety tips to follow this evening:
- Be visible. Wear reflective clothing or glow sticks or carry a flashlight so those driving by can see you.
- Make sure your children have a trusted adult accompanying them when trick-or-treating.
- Make sure your children look both ways before crossing the street and use crosswalks when possible.
- Trick-or-treat in familiar areas and neighborhoods that are well-lit.
- Check your child’s candy before they consume it. Do not consume treats from already opened wrappers.
- If your child’s costume has a mask, make sure they have full vision.
- When driving on Halloween night, drive slow and stay alert.

When Sacramento Vice Mayor Karina Talamantes learned of iconic labor leader Dolores Huerta’s death early Wednesday at 96, her first thought was of the Linda Ellis poem, “The Dash.” The poem referred to the dash separating the years etched on a tombstone and the life it represented.

“The dash in between, everything you did to make the world a better place for other human beings. When I thought about her dash, I thought about how she was the most powerful woman I’ve ever known. What a beautiful dash. She was a powerhouse,” Talamantes said. “She’s a hero. She’s Dolores Huerta.”

Yesterday, I met with Einstein Jewish Community Services to learn more about its work supporting older adults and adults with disabilities in our community.

From preventing homelessness to helping older adults age in place and expanding supportive housing for adults with disabilities, EJCS provides important resources that help community members maintain their independence, stability, and quality of life. Thank you to the team for sharing more about your work and commitment to our community!
