We're building momentum. With the next city sweep scheduled for June 2-9, neighbors around SE 34th & Powell are organizing fast to make this the last reset that sticks. 🪴

We're planning to install 8 large planters, reflectors, cones, and native plants - visible, low-cost deterrents that send a clear message:
This block is cared for. We’re done going backwards. 

Over 250 people have signed, we've got pledges coming in, and local suppliers are standing by. But we still need to raise over $1,300 to make this real - and we can’t do it without you.  

How you can help:

✅$25 or $50 - helps us buy soil, native plants, reflectors, and cover delivery costs
✅$220 - adopts a whole planter: you pick the plants, shape the vibe, and help anchor the space
Tight budget? No stress - even $5 moves us forward

Just say you’re in. We’ll follow up. 💬

We also need:

-Trucks or trailers - to help move materials
-Temporary storage - even a small space helps
-Volunteers - planting, hauling, watering, or just showing up to chat. 

Meetups:
Sunday afternoon & Wednesday evening
At the food carts near John's Marketplace on Powell

The officer who showed up at 4 a.m. due to noise said it:
Our hands are tied.
His solution? Community-led deterrents.

So here we are - doing what works. Together. 🪴
This block is done being a dumping ground for drugs, debris, blocked sidewalks, and garbage.
