On March 13th, 2010 Oakland lost another youth to gun violence. Eric Toscano was a friend of many youth in our program. Celina Lopez immediately contacted facilitator Kristi Holohan and with the help of Square 1 Labs heat press (Rom Pragassa), our program made a shirt in memory of Eric.
We deeply feel the loss of Eric and our hearts go out to his family and friends. Please contact our program (ace.arts.eastbay@gmail.com) to give to the family in their time of need.
In addition, as a program we will speak out against violence in our community and work for more opportunities and events for Oakland as a form of violence prevention.
