Sadly, since its creation back in 2009, the mural has quickly become covered in graffiti tags and smaller random pieces by other street artists. By 2017, as seen on Google Maps, the entire Chartres Street side of the piece had been covered up by graffiti, with the Piety Street side being left relatively untouched. However, at some point, the owner of the building painted over the entire structure in grey paint. As of 2019, the bare structure has once again been covered in random graffiti tags. The once powerful and beautiful mural is now sadly gone. Street art such as the Rise & Preserve Mural has been found to have a profound impact on the success of social movements and it sad to see pieces like this be destroyed. But such is the nature of public street art, eventually, other artists are going to come along and make their mark.
