CHARLESTON, W. Va. (WOWK) – Hundreds of people turned to West Virginia Health Right on Saturday for free medical services during the organization’s annual WeCareWV Day. The one-day event was held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at West Virginia Health Right’s East End Clinic on Washington Street East in Charleston.

Music blasted through speakers as people chatted enthusiastically outside a Toronto venue, moving between tents, a hotdog cart and an ice cream truck on a sunny October day. What looked like an outdoor festival at Lawrence Heights Community Centre was a fair held to raise civic engagement and encourage the city’s residents to vote in the Oct. 26 municipal election. The non-partisan event, organized by North York Harvest Food Bank, was attended by several groups including Voice the Vote, a joint initiative by Toronto Metropolitan University’s Democratic Engagement Exchange and United Way Greater Toronto. Jonathan Dong stood behind a table, a mock ballot box and papers laid out in front him, talking to people and handing them Voice the Vote election handbooks. “I think that participating in our democratic process, especially considering … how many people around the world aren't able to cast a vote, is incredibly important,” Dong said in an interview.

Los Angeles City Controller Kenneth Mejia issued a legal demand Friday for the organizers of the 2028 Summer Olympics to disclose more information about the organization’s finances — including bank statements, detailed plans for venue construction and the size of contracts with outside vendors. Mejia’s subpoena, issued under his City Charter authority, came two and a half weeks after officials at LA28, the Olympic organizing committee, rejected his previous request to disclose the information. Mejia demanded the information, much of which was also requested by The Times, as required in the 2021 contract that defines the working relationship between LA28 and the host city of the 2028 games. In a statement, LA28 spokesperson Jacie Prieto Lopez said the organization had not received the subpoena as of Friday night and could not give a formal response.
