R.E.M.O.V. (Remove Existing Marks of Vandalism) is a local group of people who take time to clean up tags that show up in the neighborhood.
They get together around once a month to clean up new tags using free graffiti removal supplies provided by the city. Additionally, the group has set up a free Facebook group to help organize clean-up efforts.
If you’re in the area and are willing to help, consider joining the group to get updates on future clean-up efforts and to meet fellow neighbors who care enough about the community to contribute some of their time to make it even better.
There is a simple solution to the graffiti problem, and it need not be a burden on the taxpayers. The solution is condoned by the U.S. Supreme Court (1970).
