Ujima Community 8th Annual Stop the Violence Event in Bushwick

Bushwick was the place to be this weekend as Ujima Community Working Together, Inc. hosted their 8th annual Stop the Violence event that included family friendly activities such as giant Jenga, checkers and more. Broadway Stages joined the group of sponsors and supporters, including members of the NYPD’s 83rd precinct, and provided school supplies and drawstring backpacks. The event taught kids about sustainable alternatives to violence with an emphasis on education, the arts and the importance of having a positive relationship with the local NYPD.
