    The Port Jervis Youth Coalition SHOWED UP for Take Down Tobacco Day!

    Their awesome tie dye shirts read “BIG TOBACCO: Remove ALL Flavors in ALL Products for ALL People. We at POW’R are mobilizing community partners across the region to recognize the damage incited by flavored tobacco products, oppressive tobacco marketing, and a lack of tobacco and vape free spaces.
