“We are a group of young people who want to make change. We’ve been doing this work for two-and-a-half years and we’re very patient, but we’re also always working. This Peavey Park action issue has been a labor of love.”
- Shelly Martin, SPEAC youth leader
“I think what they really want you to hear is that you’re on their side… I’m so grateful to be in this room to learn about it and hear about it and be an advocate in this room to change it.”
-Farheen Hakeem, Community member
“The kids are our future and we’re losing them.”
- Long-time resident of the Phillips neighborhood and mother of eight children
