People Are Talking About Us!
RPSC has been the center of a slew of radio and newspaper articles featuring everything from our community art shows to craft nights!
Check it:

The city of Oakland, like many urban cities, is no stranger to street violence. But how do you heal a community in which brutality is commonplace? One local artist has an answer. She’s created an interactive art exhibit out of letters written to the victims. Mina Kim went to the show’s opening to see how Oakland is healing its wounds.
