Plans of action may also include community service, drug and alcohol classes, after-school programs and restitution."

Mid-City CAN's Peace Promotion Momentum Team was created by City Heights residents who wanted to foster a safe, fair, and thriving community. The team is now expanding to include many other organizations and community partners who are helping us accomplish that goal.

In the words of PPMT members: "We are committed City Heights residents and their partners in the community, education, law enforcement and legislative systems.  We are dedicated to organizing, empowering and mobilizing others for the sustainable and systemic promotion of compassionate, peaceful and responsive change through restorative practices and restorative justice."
