Virtual Sunset Park Climate Justice Townhall

Come learn about updates to the GRID (Green Resilient Industrial District) and learn how to take action for Climate Justice in Sunset Park!

In response to community requests, UPROSE launched the Sunset Park Climate Justice Center, NYC’s first grassroots-led, bottom-up, climate adaptation and community resiliency planning project. The Sunset Park Climate Justice Center seeks to both advocate for and implement strategies to achieve a Just Transition for the Sunset Park community.

At this event, UPROSE will provide updates on the GRID, hear about the state of climate justice in Sunset Park, receive your feedback, and collectively determine a new community-based plan for climate resiliency. 

Speakers include Elizabeth Yeampierre, Rev. Sam Cruz, Council member Alexa Aviles & Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes. 

Information on how to take further action for climate justice in our community will be provided!
