JACKSON, MI - Broken tail lights and brake lights can be dangerous to other drivers and could get you pulled over and ticketed. The Huron Valley Democratic Socialists of America want to help.

The HVDSA is hosting "Gimme a Brake (Light)" from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, at St. Johns United Church of Christ, 801 S. Mechanic St.

Volunteers from the group will replace broken brake and tail lights for any Jackson-area resident free of charge, a press release says.

The purpose is to help reduce the opportunity for police stops that "disproportionately affect vulnerable populations," the release says.

People interested can set up an appointment by emailing huronvalleydsa@gmail.com. However, an appointment is not needed.

The DSA is the largest socialist organization in the United States with chapters across the country. The group works to make reforms today that will weaken the power of corporations and increase the power of working people, the group's website says.
