VisionQuilt.org and Adamika Village#stopkillingourkidsmovement’s, ‘Peace in the Streets’ initiative began the banner and yard sign project last year with the installation of 101 banners from 74th to 86th Avenue. The additional banners will extend the project to 102nd Avenue. Advocates hope, when the project is completed, that the banners on International Boulevard will extend from Second Avenue to the San Leandro border. The banners were made by violence survivors, OUSD students, community activists and teachers. Currently, the banners cover 1.6 miles of the boulevard.
