Are You Talking Transition?

Right now, thousands of New Yorkers are sharing their ideas and opinions on the future of the city. Are you?

Through Talking Transition, communities, nonprofits, policy advocates, leaders, and residents are talking about the issues that matter most as we transition to a new mayoral administration.

The heart of the action is at a large outdoor tent on Canal Street and Sixth Avenue, with mobile tents popping up in neighborhoods across the five boroughs.

Talking Transition continues through Saturday, November 23rd. Here’s a bit of what to expect:

• Each day, teen muralists from Groundswell are at the tent working with visitors on a new mural that illustrates how arts and culture can create a more just and equitable city for all New Yorkers.
• Performing arts groups are providing free performances at the tent, including Ifetayo Cultural Arts Academy and Dancewave on Saturday, November 16th.
• On Sunday, November 17th at 12pm, BCF grantees Just Food, New York City Coalition Against Hunger and Brooklyn Food Coalition will be discussing the future of food policy in New York City.
• Next Friday, November 22nd at 3pm, Reel Works will host a panel of youth documentarians talking about the issues and policies that matter to them.
  
  
  
• Even more events are in development, including a Talking Transition neighborhood stop in Red Hook next week, hosted by Red Hook Initiative.
