The Peace Project is a two-year implementation plan to significantly change the trajectory of our city and better the lives of the people in our city.
In year one, we will prioritize restoring visual peace through neighborhood beautification. We will start by asking our community faith leaders to help create a more peaceful city by Owning Your Block.
This initiative asks that we all reclaim the areas around our homes, businesses, and houses of worship. It encourages each of us to take personal responsibility for restoring beauty to our neighborhoods by picking up trash, pulling weeds, mowing overgrown lots, and addressing lighting and other indicators of disinvestment.
