Today’s tattoo removal event at Victory Park was a great opportunity to connect with the community and collaborate with our community partners. Our Peacekeepers provided support, shared case management referrals, and engaged with individuals impacted by gun violence, gang violence, trauma, and reentry. We were able to build relationships, communicate, and connect people with resources while creating a welcoming and supportive environment. Thank you to all our community partners for coming together to support healing, peace, and positive change in Stockton! Thank for hosting and inviting us San Joaquin Rtw ✌️🧡

❤️‍🔥 Oak Park showed up for peace! 🚗🕊️
What a beautiful and heartfelt day at Pop-Up for Peace. ❤️ Our Peacekeepers and community partners came together to share food, refreshments, resources, and, most importantly, love and support for a young girl and her family during a difficult time.
Seeing the community come together, the beautiful cars, and so many people showing love reminds us what it’s all about. We’re more than a community — we’re family. ✌️🧡
