Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Parkchester Clean-Up



  This should tell almost the whole story when word got out that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was behind a clean up of a part of East Tremont Avenue in her district. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is standing to the left of the street pole behind all the bags of trash and garbage that were picked up. The area of East Tremont Avenue between Unionport and Castle Hill Avenues is also where the new Parkchester Metro North station is planned to go. Over forty volunteers were given trash grabbers and gloves and really cleaned up.


Above and Below - Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez speaks about some of the new ideas that she has brought to Washington D.C., such as the New Green Deal. She stressed how important it is that people think of what can be done to improve the planet.
