## Resource

A Mesa neighborhood’s nightmare turned into a victory for community action when neighbors united to demand justice after years of drug activity, foul odors, and squatters. After a petition and relentless pressure, the city council listened—and on July 2, police raided the property, arresting 54-year-old Jason May on meth charges. The house was sealed off, and May now faces three felonies. While the future is uncertain, neighbors hope for either a fix or demolition. This story proves that collective voice and persistence can force change—even in the toughest neighborhoods. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
