We are a collective of individuals, both longtime residents and newcomers, working together since 2020 to have a positive impact on the lower Malcolm X Boulevard corridor of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn specifically with the aim to address the issue of gun violence with non-carceral methods.   

This Fall we will engage local youth to beautify our neighborhood with more trees, flowers, plants, and community co-created murals to reflect the pride we have in our community.  Currently a landscape with many empty storefronts, garbage strewn sidewalks and limited vegetation, we hope to transform our section of Malcolm X Boulevard into a place we all want to be and take pride in, while helping our local youth build valuable job skills and experience.  With the assistance of a local landscaping company, Friends of Jackie Robinson Park Playground and local non-profits B.R.O. Experience, HQ Tennis, and Bailey’s Café, we will hire and train local youth to create and sustainably maintain our greener environment.   

Please support our campaign and join our efforts to Create a Safer, Greener and more Sustainable Bed-Stuy!  Help us keep community members, who are trained to care for the plants, employed by continuing to support our Campaign here:  https://igfn.us/f/49tm/n
