It is noted that the "three-story" image of Zarutska, who made national headlines when she was stabbed by a homeless former inmate on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, in August, was installed on an apartment building in the trendy Bushwick neighborhood.
I started this campaign to make sure Iryna's story doesn't disappear. Her murder is at the heart of many problems plaguing American society. For example, one of them is the progressive approach to crime fighting.

It is indicated that the creation of this mural was funded by Eoghan McCabe, CEO of the artificial intelligence company Intercom. He donated $500,000 to the creation of the mural. Elon Musk also provided $1 million. Another $200,000 was raised from smaller donors.
