Take Back the Alley!
Alleyways are frequent sites of dumping, tagging, and crime in the Greater Logan Heights area. These conditions contribute to an environment that is unsanitary and unsafe for the residents, business owners, and employees that live and work around alleyways. "Take Back the Alley" is a community-driven initiative to transform alleys into spaces where neighbors can congregate freely. On May 17-18, community members will work together to install signs, paint murals, plant greenery, and host a neighborhood block party in two alleys in the neighborhood. We believe that ongoing maintenance coupled with increased activation of the alleys will improve hazardous conditions, deter people from degrading the alley, and create a new public space that neighbors can be proud to call their own.
Neighborhood Cleanup
I Love a Clean San Diego is hosting the annual Creek to Bay creek up on April 26, 2014 from 8am-12pm. As our local neighborhood cleanup organizers, BAME CDC is on board to participate and will host a cleanup site at EKCO Metals 2846 Commercial Street. We will have 4 large roll-off dumpsters ready to take in all the trash we can get! Bring your trash to the site or come as a volunteer. We need people to walk the streets with trash bags and gloves, and we need volunteers with trucks to help us get the big stuff piling up in our alleyways! Community service credit is available. Help keep our neighborhood beautiful! Call (619) 858-0563 to sign up!

– Cesar Mendez, Leadership Institute graduateEl Sobreruedas fue todo un exito! Me acuerdo cuando apenas empezábamos a llamar a los vendedores y ahora es un hecho. El pueblo Latino esta agradecido con este proyecto. Ojalá se continue buscando nuevas alternativas para otras comunidades que estan olvidadas y que solo sirven para destruir nuestra junventud con la venta de drogas.
