EJNYC Manhattan Community Engagement Session (Charette)

Join WE ACT for Environmental Justice and Henry Street Settlement on Saturday, January 9th, 2027 for an EJNYC Community Engagement Session on the Lower East Side!

Come join your neighbors for an engaging, community-led discussion focused on parks/open spaces, air quality, and healthy homes. During this session, you'll: 

  1. Utilize the EJNYC Report to learn about environmental justice issues impacting your borough. 
  2. Talk to your neighbors about your experiences and concerns.
  3. Develop solutions through collaboration to identify meaningful ways to address the environmental issues. 

We want to hear from you! Everything shared and developed during these sessions will be compiled into a final community report, which will then be shared with the Mayor's Office of Climate and Environmental Justice (MOCEJ). Our goal is to inform MOCEJ of community conversations and actions around environmental justice that YOU want to see in NYC.

Open to the entire community! We're working to make participation as accessible as possible. 

  • Translation services will be available
  • Childcare will be available 
  • Food will be provided 

Supporting Partners: Henry Street Settlement, Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board, LES Ecology Center, Harlem One Stop
