As extreme heat, wildfire smoke, and power outages become more and more prevalent in Washtenaw County, a growing network of local officials, health professionals, and community organizers is working to help Ypsilanti residents do more than simply weather the next emergency.

“People, Not Projects” runs Oct. 9 – Oct. 10 in Ypsi and will emphasize relationships and human experience over quantitative data.

Banned Books Week, Oct. 4 – 10, aims to draw attention to censorship and promote access to information. This year’s theme, “Let Books Be. Protect the Freedom to Read,” will be reflected through programming at local libraries, bookstores, and other institutions.
