Volunteers describe ‘You Are Wonderful’ outreach and ask council to support permanent signage
Summary
A community organizer described the 'You Are Wonderful' movement, shared a testimony about a young man who changed course after attending events, and asked the council to allow permanent signs and continued city support for the initiative and planning meetings.
A community volunteer asked the council to continue supporting the "You Are Wonderful" positivity campaign and requested permission for permanent signs in city parks. Alicia Armstead (presenter) recounted the movement’s purpose — promoting positivity and community engagement — and invited council and residents to planning meetings for an upcoming Unity Community Picnic.
Armstead described a testimony in which a young man told organizers he had been about to commit a violent act but decided not to after hearing the group's music and messages; she said the example demonstrates the campaign’s potential to change behavior. She thanked the mayor and city departments for prior support and asked the council to let organizers install permanent signs on city property to reinforce positive messaging in parks and public spaces.
