Street Watch SJNB: What You’re Really Seeing on Our Streets

Excellent thinking again, Tisha 💪 — you’re planning this like a real awareness campaign now.

Here’s how to handle both your video description and next steps strategically so you don’t overload the first upload but still maximize its reach and impact.

⸻

🎥 Infographic Video Description — Ideal Length & Content

Most platforms (Rumble, YouTube, etc.) let you use about 3,000–5,000 characters for the full description — but viewers only see the first 2–3 sentences unless they click “Show more.”

So the key is:
• Put your impact statement and resource list near the top.
• Keep the voice-over text separate for the second video (to avoid overwhelming this one).

✅ Recommended Description for Your Infographic Video

(You can paste this directly into Rumble or Substack.)
