For our 5th birthday we're partnering with Walls for Justice - join us at Cooke Elementary School to help them paint school lockers.
Happy 5th birthday to us!! We're celebrating two times in July - first with this impactful volunteering event with Walls for Justice, and a second time with a networking & fundraising event (more details on that to come ASAP we promise).
For July we're teaming up with a new partner, Walls for Justice, to paint lockers at Cooke Elementary School and assist a muralist with a new mural. In between projects there will also be snacks , games, and the chance to learn about some other cool orgs in attendance.
Walls for Justice began painting unifying social justice messages on plywood boards that covered up the storefront windows during the civil unrest and nationwide protests of 2020. Passersby wanted to help paint. Stores asked for messages of support for the community. Media shared their messages. Instead of anger and despair, their words, their art, became a symbol of hope. Today businesses continue to support social change. Artists want to utilize their talent. Marginalized people want to feel empowered. Walls for Justice continues to be a catalyst bringing all three together. They work in public spaces, schools, museums and partner with businesses to hire local artists to push the future forward by creating positive change through art.
