Project Overview

In Bakersfield, community partner All of Us or None selected muralist Jennifer Williams-Cordova to create a colorful, vibrant mural in the Old Town Kern neighborhood. The mural, “LOVE in Action,” invites everyone to “Protect the Ones You LOVE.” With a bright blue background, whimsical green hearts, and the word LOVE in giant, colorful letters, the mural features the faces of 10 community members representing a diverse range of ethnicities and ages.
