Visioning Beyond Violence's Peace in the Streets Banners

Through our partnerships with community leaders, Visioning Beyond Violence installed 210 Banners for Peace along 1.6 miles of International Boulevard in East Oakland. These five-foot street pole banners feature Visionary art created by youth, artists, gun violence survivors, and community members and will be exhibited until 2028. 

Our video exemplifies the Call to Action generated by city and community leaders at the onset of the banner installation. As part of the Peace in the Streets Neighborhood Beautification Project, the banners serve to uplift the voices of community members impacted by gun violence. 

Overwhelming the Streets With Peace

Gun Violence Prevention Advocacy Day

Our video exemplifies the Call to Action generated by youth. Accompanied by  Visioning Beyond Violence staff, students visited California's state capitol to speak with legislators. They shared how they've been impacted by gun violence and presented lawmakers with a copy of their Addressing Gun Violence curriculum.
