Public Assistants has a continuous commitment to fostering community art through our ongoing Community Mural, Sign, and Banner initiatives. These initiatives were established as a central priority when we began our journey in 2020, inspired by the numerous protests that unfolded in New York City. Our signs and banners have not only served as powerful symbols during protests and demonstrations, but they have also become cherished emblems of our homes, boldly expressing our identities, sense of belonging, and unwavering demand for liberation. They proclaim that we are here, we deserve to be heard, without any intention of leaving, PERIOD!
