Blue Coats: How a Grassroots Organization is Leading Erie's Anti-Violence Movement

Friday, February 23, 2024 from 12 PM to 1:30 PM

The Blue Coats is an organization in Erie made up of volunteers who care about the city's youth. The Blue Coats have been working since 2005 to defuse violence and promote safety among Erie's students and in the neighborhoods surrounding the schools. In this presentation, Pastor Daryl "Brother D" Craig, Sr., will discuss how the Blue Coats came about, their mission, and the results that they've witnessed since starting the Blue Coats. *FREE, optional $5 boxed lunch (please register 48 hours in advance for lunch)
