Skating competition

On Dec 4, 2021, Young Revolutionary Front hosted a skate competition at McNamara Park in Merced, Calif. in order to bring the community closer towards health. The skating competition brought out a vaccine clinic with the help of Valley Onward and Merced County Public Health in order for the community to get tested, get their vaccine and booster shots. The Central Valley Brown Berets also were present and hosted a warm clothes drive within the skating event in order to distribute clothes to Merced’s houseless encampments. There was food, drinks and Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) provided as well as a raffle that included two skateboards and a speaker. Additionally, the youth came together to continue to advocate for youth investments from the city’s ARPA allocations, whose demands included the creation of a youth employment program and a UBI program for system-impacted youth.
