Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Quantitative outcomes: 50+ people participate in painting/installing mural. 200+ people attend mural dedication party. Qualitative outcome: Centro de Trabajadores Unidos en Lucha's visibility increases, Centro de Trabajadores Unidos en Lucha members and community members feel an increased sense of pride and awareness of the history of labor struggles and other movements for justice in the Twin Cities. We will evaluate based on participants counts and sign-ins, and verbal and written feedback from participants and community members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

150+ people have participated, well past our goal of 50. Visibility has increased as indicated by the two earned media pieces cited above. Our favorite example of qualitative impact: a neighborhood mom whose family volunteered says it sparked great talks with her kids about work and justice. Now whenever they pass by her 5-year-old excitedly says "There's my mural!"
