Sign letter to support Western Queens Community Land Trust

Street Works has written a letter to support the Western Queens Community Land Trust’s important proposal to turn the former Dept. of Education building in LIC into the Queensboro People’s Space—a permanently affordable, community-owned hub for artists, cooperatives, food justice groups, and more. This is not a lease or a commitment—just a way to demonstrate public support. To join the effort, please sign the letter if it resonates and share this far and wide with folks you know who would be willing to sign.

We're excited to announce Street Works, a platform collective members are building for artists who practice co-creation in public spaces. This is one way in which we hope to make justice normal in a cultural asset ecosystem that has not not served justice. (Image: Art: “Bending the Universe,” by Anjali Deshmukh. Photo: by Chasi Annexy.)
