Residents are invited to attend a "Season for Nonviolence" event at the Cafe Room of Antioch Church, 1535 Gundry Avenue on Tuesday, March 15 from 9 a.m. until 10:30 a.m.
The event will present findings of an assessment project between the Health Department's Weed & Seed youth leaders, UCLA Public Affairs students and United Cambodian Community leaders who walked door-to-door and surveyed more than 165 residents and businesses in the MacArthur Park community last November of 2010.
UCLA professors, students and youth leaders will show data, maps and resources about safety, access to healthy food, neighborhood walkability and mobility. There will also be a discussion about strategies to build a strong and vibrant MacArthur Park/Whittier School Neighborhood. This is a free event and that includes a continental breakfast
