Signs for Life, a new community initiative, is dedicated to helping a Compton neighborhood disassociate itself from any gang ties.
By posting anti-gang signs on local streets and hosting cookouts like the one held Saturday afternoon, organizers hope to break a chain of destruction that Peach Street community members have been living in for decades.
The neighbors didn't know each other because for decades they didn't feel safe. Historically, Peach Street was ravaged by gangs, Tapia said. His 18-year-old nephew, Devin Taylor, constantly lived in fear. Tapia launched the group Signs for Life and created the event called Meal With the Mayor, a celebration that gang activity has decreased.
"I believe that unifying a community is one of the best things that we can do here in this city," Sharif said.
