Today is election day! Voting centers are open acr

Today is election day! Voting centers are open across Long Beach for you to cast your ballot or drop off your vote by mail ballot.

If you're still looking for some information on the items on your ballot, we've got you covered for Measure RW. The measure is an effort to increase the minimum wage for hotel workers at hotels with 100 or more rooms. To understand more about the measure, we spoke with Gabriel Perez, a community organizer with Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy's (LAANE) campaign called Long Beach for a Just Economy. Swipe through our post to learn more about this measure and what impact it may have.

In this story, VoiceWaves contributor Abel Reyes (@abelreyeslb) shares some of the life story of Oum Ry, a Cambodian kickboxing legend who runs the Long Beach Khmer Kickboxing Center. Ry's story is told in length in the new book "I Am Oum Ry," a biography penned by Zochada Tat, his daughter, and family friend Addi Somekh.

The California State University Board of Trustees

The California State University Board of Trustees will be voting on a tuition increase of 6%, to be facilitated over the course of five years, at their meeting on September 13. Students and faculty have responded calling it a decision that could make higher education more inaccessible to students.

Here, some students and faculty at a recent protest at Cal State Long Beach share why they are against the proposed tuition increase.

CSULB students continue to protest the university's decision to once again hold a commencement ceremony at Angels Stadium, with graduates not walking the stage while having their names called out. In this post, we hear from students at a recent protest about why they are against this and why they believe having a graduation where they can walk the stage matters.
