The attorney general's office in Guam has been utilizing billboards as part of their ongoing effort to communicate with the people of Guam and deter crime. The goal is to reduce the amount of taxpayer money spent on the criminal justice process. Meth addiction has been a significant issue in the community, and the attorney general's office is reacting to it by trying to reduce the numbers through deterrence rather than relying solely on the court system. The use of billboards is a common and cost-effective method used by law enforcement agencies and attorneys general across the United States to convey messages and deter criminal behavior [1f9a5ec9].
In another instance, critics of Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price have raised over $500,000 for a recall campaign, while Price has only raised $15,000 to defend herself. The recall campaign is led by Brenda Grisham, Carl Chan, and Philip Dreyfuss. Major donors to the campaign include real estate companies and individuals in the tech industry. On the other hand, the sources of funding for Dreyfuss's committee are unclear. Price has established a campaign committee to oppose the recall and has raised $15,000. Both sides will likely have to raise more money to appeal to voters if the recall makes it to the ballot.

Graphic designers Marcus Watts and Bre Rudolph have created a series of commemorative posters to reflect on the 60th anniversary of the human rights campaign that took place in Birmingham in 1963. Each poster promotes a different theme related to the campaign and features evocative scenes set amid a rainbow of bright colors and flowing fonts. The posters have gained attention and popularity, with people flocking to City Hall to grab the latest one. The project began with the intention of creating one poster, but the significant events of 1963 related to human rights led to the decision to create a series. The posters feature local personalities and symbols that represent unity and solidarity. The final poster, themed 'Money, Power, Respect,' focuses on the ongoing struggle for economic opportunity. The series of 12 posters can be arranged to create a larger image that features the official 'Forging Justice' logo designed by Watts and Rudolph [95e37deb].
