Calling all of our Network!
(That's you) to support us during Mayor Dicken's #PeaceWeekATL2022
WE ARE FUNDRAISING
for our gun-related Violence prevention mural! The owners of Windsor Plaza have graciously (and finally!) agreed to allow us to RECLAIM this space!
This is SO important because this wall faces the entryway to Dunbar Recreation Complex - a 1) a center point of Mechanicsville, 2) a space with various youth and community serving components (a Sheltering Arms, Elementary School, Parks, Little league teams, the Center for Black Women's Wellness, and MORE), 3) a HOT SPOT FOR GUN RELATED VIOLENCE.
We are building a safe zone. And we need your help.
Our GOAL is to raise $35,000.00 during #PeaceWeekATL2022 to reimagine this 1,300+ sq ft wall based on the data we've collected from residents during our Guns Down Mechanicsville project.
