Community Clean Up

& Voter Registration Drive

n Sunday, July 5, 2020 at Mt. Nebo Park, a newly found
Ononprofit organization called Building Relationships
Inside Different Generations & Ethnicities (B.R.I.D.G.E.)
held their first event in Monroe, Louisiana. They wanted to
do something in the community that would make a differ-
ence. So, they decided to set up a community cleanup and
Voter Registration Drive in the community on the South
side of town. This nonprofit organization has seven mem-
bers consisting of: Urald King (President), Elijah Brass (VP),
Vanisha Jackson (Secretary), Anthony Marshall, Terry Mar-
tin, Cierra Turner, and Larrese Rollins. People in the com-
munity came out to help with the neighborhood cleaning
and the setup of the Voter Registration Drive. Urald King
said they are trying to get more involved in the community.
King says that they are trying to “be a B.R.I.D.G.E.” between
the generations before them and the generation after them.
He says he notices that there is a big void in communication
between the older generation and the younger generation.
Urald says that their job is to get involved in the commu-
nity as much as they possibly can to make a difference. He
says that more people should be present at Jury meetings
and start doing everything possible to get their faces and
voices out there so there can be more representation for the
community that look like you and me.
