On Saturday, November 1st, UPROSE was invited to Green-Wood Cemetery to participate in their Day of the Dead celebration and what a beautiful day it was. We held space for young ones to do arts & crafts, memorialized those not with us, and gathered dozens of signatures for our petition to establish a Special Purpose District in Sunset Park. From marigolds to manifestos, this is what community looks like: intergenerational, intentional, and rooted in both remembrance and resistance. Why SPD matters: As part of GRID 2.0, the Special Purpose District will introduce zoning requirements and incentives that advance green reindustrialization, environmental sustainability, and community resilience. It’s about creating a framework where residents shape equitable development, making Sunset Park a national model for land use, environmental justice, and a Just Transition. Haven’t signed yet? Act now: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/declare-sunset-park-a-special-purpose-district?source=direct_link& To everyone who stopped by, created with us, and signed on, thank you for showing up. Your commitment to a healthier, more just Sunset Park gives us hope. Together, we honor those who came before and fight for those who come next. #DiaDeMuertos #UPROSE #GreenWoodCemetery #Brooklyn #SunsetPark #SpecialDistrictNow #CommunityPower #EnvironmentalJustice #CulturaViva #FrontlineLeadership #WalkingWithOurAncestors (fb)
