DESCRIPTION:COMMUNITY READY CORPS (CRC) TO HOST CLEANUPS AND GIVEAWAYS IN RESPONSE TO 
 CRIME AND BLIGHT.\n\n(Oakland, California)—Community Ready Corps (CRC), 
 based in Oakland, California, supports positive engagements with low-income 
 families by participating in the Positive Pull Up this weekend. The event 
 aims to promote cleaner and safer neighborhoods by finding solutions to 
 local problems.  The events are scheduled from April 27 to May 4, 2024, and 
 everyone is invited to attend.\n\nTur-Ha Ak says, “CRC is committed to 
 debunking the doom loop narrative. We have previously repaired restaurants' 
 broken windows impacted by crime as part of our Positive Pull-Up 
 Initiative, advocating for solution-focused strategies. We will continue to 
 support our communities because Oakland’s legacy is about showing the 
 world that whenever something goes wrong, our communities will pull 
 together to fix the problem,”  says Tur-Ha Ak. \n\nThis Saturday, CRC is 
 dedicating critical services and having fun while doing it.” 
 \nInformation on CRC’s Positive Pull-Up Initiative can be found on 
 CRC’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. The group’s social media posts, 
 showing dozens of Black community members cleaning up the streets with a 
 large Black garbage truck (affectionately called “Big Black”), have 
 been shared hundreds of times and inspired others to join them. It also 
 includes CRC members providing gift cards and produce giveaways to support 
 low-income families in Oakland.\n\nCRC is independently funded and takes no 
 government subsidies to provide necessary materials and equipment, such as 
 their garbage truck, to tackle public safety concerns.\n\n###\nCommunity 
 Ready Corps (CRC) is a Black self-determination organization that works to 
 build capacity in 9 specific areas. \nClick the link here for more
