Retake Roma on Earth Day 2011

(RT) April 2, 2011

Huge success on Earthday 2011! Over 200 volunteers showed up to help RETAKE ROMA from personalized markings, scribbles and tags that deface walls and threaten the historical beauty of residential areas.

Thanks to everyone's support and efforts, we managed to get the job done including the personal support of all three US Ambassadors to Italy and the Mayor of Rome. Results clearly show what happens when you think GLOBALLY, ACT locally!

RETAKE ROMA is a grassroots, non-profit, apolitical, non-sectarian movement, born of civic responsibility by citizens and residents of Rome who "speak-up and clean-up" while exchanging/practicing second languages. This volunteer organization operates under the auspices of the Fondazione Giuseppe Garibaldi ONLUS.
