State of Emergency: a Vote 2 Live rally, City Council Chambers

Next week Monday, our city’s young adults and youth will have the opportunity to make sure that their voices are heard during this year’s mayoral campaign during the Vote 2 Live rally taking place in Birmingham City Council chambers (City Hall, 3rd floor).

The event is an initiative of Innovative Approach Foundation in cooperation with other community organizations and it is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. and last for about an hour. According to information provided by the event’s organizers, the candidates have been invited to attend so that the city’s young adults would be able to ask them questions the night before the city decides who they want their next leader to be. There will also be giveaways and spoken word performances as part of the festivities.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact Sylvia Bennett-Stone @ 205.283.6980 or DeJuana Thompson @ 205.706.7060.

Election ’07: You’ve got no excuse

Not to vote that is. For those that are thinking that since they will not be in town on Election Day that they do not need to worry about having their voices heard, that’s why there’s absentee balloting!

If you are registered and you’re finding it’s going to be iffy whether or not you’re going to be able to get to your voting location on October 9 due to travel, you can cast your vote on the 3rd floor of Birmingham City Hall, between 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. in Conference Room A. You will be able to cast absentee ballots until 5 p.m. this Thursday, October 4.

If you want to hear what some of the candidates have to say about issues and see what else is planned during the last week of the general election for mayor, visit our Election ’07 site.

Birmingham’s got a new Catholic bishop

Baker portraitOr at least he will be officially late this afternoon. Robert Baker will be installed as the bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Birmingham  during a 3 p.m. service at St. Paul’s Cathedral downtown. There will be a procession leading into the church including several dignitaries that are mentioned in this brief over on the Decatur Daily website.

The installation service will also be broadcast live over the EWTN Network who will be airing a rebroadcast of the event on Wednesday evening beginning at 11 p.m. for those that are not able to see it today. Or you could just click here and watch it live on your computer screen.
