About 50 people came out on Saturday, March 21, 2009 and painted out graffiti at three locations in Porter Ranch in a matter of two hours. This event was sponsored by Whole Foods, REI, Starbucks, Ralphs, and Castlebay Lane Elementary. Painting supplies were provided by the City of Los Angeles through the West Valley Alliance, which is responsible for graffiti removal in our area. You can contact them at (818) 227-9722.
LAPD Devonshire Captain Kane explained to the students and participants that graffiti is a crime called vandalism. Once it appears in our community it is like a magnet drawing other unsavory elements.
Kids of course, look at this as a giant outdoor art project. Join us next time!
