Local YMCA high school students address the texting while driving
epidemic head-on by gathering thousands of fellow-teen pledges not
to text and drive. September 19 marks AT&T’s national Don’t Text &
Drive Pledge Day, and pop stars Ryan Beatty and Jasmine Villegas
join students at noon at the Y to present the pledges to AT&T Vice
President & General Manager for Greater Los Angeles Jace Barbin.

The AT&T “It Can Wait” campaign is raising awareness of the
dangers of texting while driving - urging all to take the pledge
by going to www.itcanwait.com.
The Weingart East LA YMCA Youth & Government program is part of a
statewide initiative to involve students in California state
issues culminating in a five-day Model Legislature and Court
program in Sacramento where the youth “take over” state government.
