CHANGE THE REF (CTR), WAS FORMED TO EMPOWER OUR FUTURE LEADERS. CTR GIVES THE KIDS OF TODAY THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO BE EMPOWERED TO MAKE CHANGES TO CRITICAL ISSUES THAT AFFECT OUR NATION, THROUGH EDUCATION, CONVERSATION, AND ACTIVISM. IT USES URBAN ART AND NONVIOLENT CREATIVE CONFRONTATION TO EXPOSE THE DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF THE MASS SHOOTING PANDEMIC. IT ALSO BRINGS FOCUS TO THE NRA'S CORRUPT MANEUVERS TO BUY LAWMAKERS, WHILE FORCING SOLUTIONS WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL TO HEALING MASS SHOOTING VICTIMS' FAMILIES' LIFELONG GRIEF. CHANGE THE REF'S ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO GIVE THE YOUNG GENERATION OF SURVIVORS AND VICTIMS A DISRUPTING VOICE TO HELP LEAD THE WAY TO CHANGE FOR A MORE PEACEFUL FUTURE.WALLS OF DEMAND IS A NATIONWIDE ART PROJECT, AND A WAY FOR MANUEL OLIVER'S SON, JOAQUIN, TO HAVE A VOICE. THESE MURALS HAVE A VERY POWERFUL IMAGE SO IT'S HARD TO LOOK AWAY, AND HARD TO IGNORE. THESE WALLS TRIGGER PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE, AND THE NEED FOR CHANGE. AND WE WANT YOU TO A PART OF IT AS WELL-COME SEE MANUEL OLIVER'S LIVE ACTIVISM GRAPHIC ART AND YOUR CHANCE TO LEAVE YOUR MARK ON IT AS WELL.AFTER EVERY MASS SHOOTING, AMERICANS GO ONLINE TO POST THEIR FRUSTRATIONS AND CALLS FOR CHANGE. FEW WRITE LETTERS TO CONGRESS, WHICH 96% OF CAPITOL HILL STAFF SAYS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO INFLUENCE POLITICIANS. THE REPRESENTATIVES WHO CHANGE GUN LAWS CAN'T IGNORE THE POWER OF HANDWRITTEN LETTERS. THAT'S WHY WE STARTED POSTS INTO LETTERS: A MOVEMENT THAT TURNS SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS INTO LETTERS FOR CONGRESS. BUT NOT JUST ANY LETTERS...LETTERS WRITTEN WITH THE HANDWRITING OF JOAQUIN OLIVER, A STUDENT KILLED IN THE PARKLAND SHOOTING.
