Choose Wisdom
Choose wisdom. In two words, a wealth of power. “Choose Wisdom” is a campaign that captures and shares the voices of Rochesterians who have grappled with violence and important life choices. The campaign works to elevate resources that are available through the Office of Violence Prevention (OVP), and encourages people to get involved to help others.
The campaign is the brainchild of OVP Director Victor Saunders, and local filmmaker Shabaka Mu Ausar.
