PROJECT RIPPLE
Sponsored by Together We Rise Coalition
Advocacy for declaring gun violence as a public health crisis provides a holistic strategy for addressing the situation of crime.
Project Ripple is a holistic strategy that addresses the various aspects that impact public safety through three levels of engagement – nano, micro, and macro. The foundation of Project Ripple is community and neighborhood engagement, collaboration, and unity.
The People’s Office
The people’s office is a product of Project Ripple’s micro-level strategy. It is the tangible outcome of the work, where strategy becomes structure and vision becomes practice. The People’s Office operationalizes community power by creating a resident-led civic space where lived experience drives action, accountability, and governance.
