Be Aware, Be Patient, Be Sober, Cherish Life Safety Sign

Beginning in October of 2013, Groundswell provided an outlet for students from the Coalition School for Social Change to remember those who they have lost and to make a difference in their community. As a part of Groundswells ongoing partnership with the Department of Transportation, the students came together to create a new street sign to be installed near their school. The theme that the youth worked towards/around was the theme of awareness; awareness in traffic, awareness when walking, awareness when deciding/deciding not to drink and drive, etc. Moreover, the mural was made in memoriam of the students close friend, Renee Thompson, who they had lost as a result of a community in need of such awareness.
