DENVER, Colo. - A group of teenagers is using social media to try to inspire younger generations to sign up to work at the election polls this November.The Poll Hero Project was started by a group of teens from Denver East High School as well as students from Princeton University as a way to inspire their peers to get involved.“I never really expected it to go anywhere. I mean, we don’t really have any money or really any advertising. It’s really just been using social media to get our message out,” said Leo Kamin, one of the project’s co-founders.Kamin is a 17-year-old who signed up to be a poll worker during the previous election for the first time after mother found out about the student poll worker program through the Colorado Secretary of State’s website and encouraged him to join.In Colorado, you must be 16 in order to serve as a poll worker. It is a paid position.“It really did open my eyes just to the process and how many things you have to have right,” Kamin said.Along with learning the intricacies of how the election process works, Kamin says he was able to bring his own set of skills to the polling place.“In Colorado, you can change your registration on your phone, and I was the only one of the greeters, the poll workers, who understood how to sort of explaining that on the website,” Kamin said. “I think there is that knowledge that comes from the people who have done this a lot and have voted for before, but I think there are also things that younger people bring that are valuable.”Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, some areas are struggling to find enough poll workers to work on election day.Colorado has not had that problem for the most part, and places like Denver and Jefferson County say they experienced record interest this election.Still, the teens are using social media to encourage students across the country to check in with their counties to see whether they need help.One of the students who decided to sign up to be a poll worker for the first time is Ben Ginsberg. He’s still going through the training process to be ready for election day but says he’s excited about the opportunity.“I thought it was a great opportunity to help out and play my part,” Ginsberg said.Along with being a first-time poll worker, Ginsberg is also a first-time voter in this general election after participating in the primary.“I’m super excited to vote in the presidential election. It’s even more important than the primaries obviously. I think that was kind of my way to express my personal views,” Ginsberg said.He believes there is more interest in politics these days among his peers and many of his friends are excited for the opportunity to vote.Kamin is not so lucky; he missed the age deadline to be able to vote this election by just a couple of weeks. Still, Kamin says he’s excited to be able to have an opportunity to contribute.“I feel like because I can’t vote it makes it even more important to participate,” he said. “There are not many things you can do as a 17-year-old but this is one of them.”He’s still surprised by just how much popularity the project has garnered despite the fact that they have no money for advertising and have only been using social media to get their message out.Both teens will be missing school Monday and Tuesday in order to work the polls but say they hope their teachers and classmates understand the importance of the role they are playing in democracy. They hope even more teenagers will consider signing up in the future.“Sure, you may not be in charge of the country now, but you will be in the future, and this is your country. This is your democracy and getting involved it’s never too early to start,” Ginsberg said. “In the long term, it would be great to become institutionalized and become that next generation of driving our democracy.”This story was first published by Meghan Lopez at KMGH in Denver, Colorado. 3916

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Friday that he had tested negative for COVID-19."I’m happy to report that Jill and I have tested negative for COVID," Biden tweeted. "Thank you to everyone for your messages of concern. I hope this serves as a reminder: wear a mask, keep social distance, and wash your hands."At a campaign event later in the day, Biden confirmed he received two negative tests before speaking in Michigan. Biden's test came hours as President Donald Trump confirmed he had tested positive for the virus. It's unclear when Trump contracted the virus, but he and Biden debated on Tuesday evening in Cleveland. 646

DETROIT, Mich. -- A 70-year-old woman is suing the Detroit Police Department for millions of dollars, accusing its officers of "violent abuse.""I never in my life had handcuffs on," said the woman, Lisa Wright. But all that changed on Nov. 20, 2019, when Wright said she and her grandson heard a commotion outside her home on Wyoming near Chippewa on Detroit's west side.Wright's grandson opened the door and they were allegedly assaulted by police officers.Thursday, at a press conference with her attorneys, Wright told reporters how she was forced to the ground and handcuffed."We didn't do anything," Wright said they tried to tell police."After they roughed her up and abused her for 30 minutes or so, they just released her," said Wright's attorney, Michael Fortner. "Not even an apology."Wright, whose husband ended up rushing her to a nearby hospital where she remained for seven days, is now suing the City of Detroit and Detroit police for million for alleged physical injuries, post-traumatic stress, humiliation, and mental anguish.It all began on Nov. 20, 2019, when Detroit police officers responded to a 911 call for help at a house three doors away from Wright's home.During that run, two police officers were shot, including officer Rasheen McClain who died from his injuries.Immediately after the shooting, as police were searching the area for the suspect, Wright and her attorneys claim officers dragged her and her grandson out of their home and caused them injuries.In the lawsuit, officers "subjected plaintiff to unlawful searches of her person and property, wrongful arrest/detention, unnecessary and violent abuse, false arrest, and other unconstitutional conduct."Click on the video to hear from Wright and her attorneys.In December, WXYZ began looking into Wright's allegations of police misconduct, and police officials said they were investigating the claims. Thursday, WXYZ asked a spokesperson from the department for an update on that investigation and was told no one was available for comment.This story was originally published by Kimberly Craig at WXYZ. 2102

Despite the news from recent weeks, Austin Eubanks does have hope for the future; confidence that the country will stem the tide of mass shootings.Eubanks was underneath a table in the library at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, when he was shot twice, once in his hand and once in his knee.His best friend, Corey DePooter, was one of the 13 victims killed that day.“Columbine was really the tipping point for this phenomenon,” Eubanks says.The phenomenon he describes is the issue of mass shootings, occurring more and more frequently and in places traditionally considered safe: schools, outdoor concerts, even churches.“I never thought that it would get to this point. My hope was always that Columbine was going to be an outlier.”After the Nov. 5 shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, where 26 victims were killed, Columbine is no longer even among the top ten deadliest mass shootings in the U.S.And that, Eubanks says, is "terrifying."Has the country learned anything as a society since Columbine? Perhaps, he says.“I would hate to think there wasn’t learning along the way. The problem is you can’t have learning without action. What have we done about it? Nothing. We haven’t done anything, and that’s incredibly frustrating for me.”He’s frustrated that more hasn’t been done to address the obvious problems: mental health and guns.Individually, he says, everyone can do more. Eubanks is a firm believer that the rise in mass shootings has a direct correlation to the rise in the opioid and addiction crisis in the U.S.Following his injuries at Columbine, he was immediately put on prescription meds for his physical pain. But that, he says, quickly turned into a desire for more — more pain meds but also a need for illicit drugs and then alcohol.“My drug of choice was always ‘more.’ I wanted to take whatever you had that would allow me to not feel present.”A decade went by before he finally found recovery. Now, recovery is his life’s work. He’s the Chief Operating Officer at Foundry Treatment Center in the mountains of Steamboat Springs, Colorado.As a society, Eubanks says, we don’t do enough to honor the lives of those taken in these mass shooting events.“For me personally, the way that I remember my best friend is by doing the work I do today,” Eubanks says. “So I’m able to lend my voice to this conversation on how we impact change.""If we are all able to come together and talk about how we can evolve as a society to help prevent this down the road, then that honors the memory of all victims.”Eubanks says there is another way we can all honor the victims, and that’s by working to end mass shootings. Aside from the seemingly endless debate over policy changes in Washington, there’s something simple everyone can do in their daily lives: reach out to people, even those who may seem “different.”He says that since a majority of the attackers exhibit the same common denominator--loneliness--it’s preventable, simply by reaching out and focusing more on inclusion of others every day.“You have to look at your community and say ‘How can I impact change in my community?’ One of the ways is focusing on your own healing and being an example for others. From there, look at your family and say ‘how am I raising my kids? Am I normalizing these conversations in my kids?’”Those conversations, he says, should be about preventing loneliness and preventing addiction as a symptom of trauma.And even though Eubanks admits that the more these events continue to occur, the more desensitized the country becomes, the trick is not letting that deter motivation for change.“[Americans] have to sit down and think, ‘What am I willing to accept in my society, and what am I willing to not accept in my society?’ And for me personally, I’m not willing to accept the fact that we are just going to continue to allow these episodes of mass violence to continue to snowball out of control.”“We were at a point where we shouldn’t have continued to allow this to happen 20 years ago,” Eubanks says. “We have to get motivated to do something about this and we can’t wait any longer.” 4154

DEL MAR, Calif. (KGTV) - The California Thoroughbred Racing Board postponed a vote on the use of riding crops at their meeting Thursday.The board was scheduled to vote on the issue but decided to move it to the December meeting.Two different versions of the regulation have been proposed.One would allow jockeys to hold a crop during race, but would disqualify the horse if the jockey used the crop to whip the horse during a race.The second version broadens the acceptable use of the crop to include “tapping of the neck” and for use in directing the horse without contact, but would still not permit a jockey to raise the crop to forcefully whip a horse.Del Mar Thoroughbred Club CEO, Joe Harper, said he supports the phaseout of whips.“I’m hopeful we can get to a point where the whip is not used at all,” said Harper. “It’s a horrible visual.” 855
