Sat. Oct 23 - The Bronx People's Festival Is Happening!

 

The Bronx-wide Coalition took some time this summer to rest and reflect on all that we accomplished in the first half of the year, including launching a massive civic engagement campaign and kicking off our Bronx-wide planning process through a series of virtual People’s Assemblies over the spring and early summer. 

We are excited to share that our borough-wide planning process is back in action! We are coming together again for the Bronx People’s Festival on October 23 between 11am-3pm. Join the Coalition for our first in-person gathering (outdoors!) at the Mary Mitchell Center Courtyard at 2007 Mapes Avenue where we will continue our work of building power and co-creating the future of the Bronx--for us, by us!

At the Festival, you’ll be able to: 

• Share your ideas for how we can transform our Bronx economy and society to prioritize self-determination, wellbeing, and dignity for all,
• Learn about exciting projects happening locally and beyond that are aligned with our vision and values,
• Get all the information you need to vote in NYC’s general election this November,
• Reflect on the loved ones we’ve recently lost, and access resources for healing, like Reiki,
• Connect with the organizations, staff, and delegates in our leadership team and learn how you can stay engaged, and
• Eat delicious food, play games, win prizes, build community, and a lot more! 

Mark your calendars, invite your family, friends, and neighbors, and join us on October 23rd.

We want to hear from you!

Did you attend one of our virtual People's Assemblies this past spring/early summer? if so, we'd love to hear from you! Fill out this short survey to share: feedback on the events, what you learned, and what else you're looking forward to in our planning process.

Best,

The Bronx-wide Coalition Leadership Team
