Celebrate the 55th Anniversary of Bruce’s Garden!

On the Summer Solstice – Friday, June 20th at 7pm – Bruce’s Garden will host a fundraising party to celebrate the 55th anniversary of our beloved community garden. Reserve your spot now!

We’ll also recognize local leaders and organizations that mirror the spirit of the garden’s founding family – the J.A., Gerri, and Bruce Reynolds, whose collective effort transformed an empty lot into a thriving garden, back in 1970. 
As many of you know, Bruce Reynolds was working for the Port Authority when he lost his life aiding victims of the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001. The Parks Department recognized Bruce’s selfless bravery and service by naming the garden in his honor.
Join us on June 20th for an al fresco dinner featuring local cuisine, music by Clérida Eltimé, a Grammy-nominated cellist — and a special Sound Bath by Licia of Aveani Sacred Wellness — not to mention the good company of friends and neighbors. 
AND there will be a special raffle of honey from Bruce’s Garden bees, as well as other local treats!
Space is limited, so please reserve your spot now

Word Up Recirculation – We Are One: A Fundraiser for Make the Road NY

Let’s be the change we wish to see in this world right now. Let’s support a great cause. And let’s meet in person and share time and space together in community. It’s one of the most revolutionary things we can do right now.

Please join me this Saturday, June 14th at Recirculation to join in community and joy as resistance, as survival, as giving thanks. RSVP on this page.

And here’s the great cause: Make the Road New York. MRNY is renowned for its work with immigrants and beyond.

Between merch sales and direct donations we have raised OVER $1,200 SO FAR! I haven’t used social media friends, this has been good ol’ fashioned email and word of mouth and talking in person. Let’s keep it going! Let’s hit $1,500!

If you are able to, please donate here. *Merch sales are closed for now. And if you can’t donate, please come out anyway. Community is vital now more than ever.

What is Make the Road New York?

Make the Road NY builds the power of immigrant and working-class communities to achieve dignity and justice through:

-community organizing

-policy innovation

-transformative education, and

-the provision of high-quality legal and survival services.

In response to the tremendous attacks on immigrants and many other communities, Make the Road NY has been fighting for the end of ICE collaboration with local police in NY state, turning out thousands of New Yorkers to rallies, and launching multiple court cases challenging expedited removal, the end of protected statuses for immigrants, the assault on birthright citizenship, and more.

How do I participate?

Donate any amount directly.

-If you can’t donate right now, please spread the word about this fundraiser and come out this Saturday.
