@Gothamist hmmm...nice idea, but who will maintain?

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

On a recent Saturday afternoon, Regina Carter parked a U-Haul van in front of the Morris Houses — the Bronx public-housing project where she lives — and began unloading 55 big-screen LG TVs onto the sidewalk to hand out to her neighbors. In these parts, the 38-year-old is known as the Furniture Queen for the pop-ups she runs through her tiny nonprofit, Repurposed Life. When offices and college dorms want to get rid of their used furniture and appliances, they call her, and she collects and redistributes them for free at housing projects around the city.

At Carter’s pop-ups, it’s first come, first served. No one asks for names or poses any other questions. “We’ve had people roll up in nice vehicles and ask for things. It’s not really my place to say, ‘Oh, you rich? Why you over here looking for stuff?’” said Carter. “The point is to keep it out of the landfill.”

Carter was inspired to launch her service based on her experience growing up in the foster-care system and trying to make it on her own. The native New Yorker bounced from family to family and then to a group home. She had her first child when she was 15 and her second at 17. When she was 21, the city moved her into an apartment in the Morris Houses with her two children, but it had no furniture. “We were sleeping on the floor,” she said. Now, she estimates her organization has redistributed more than half a million pounds of materials since its official launch two years ago.

Congratulations to the People’s Theatre! This is exactly the kind of investment West Harlem–Hamilton Heights needs: space where creatives can work, present, develop their craft, and build sustainable careers and thriving neighborhoods.

The CB9-approved Alternative Plan for 1727 Amsterdam ( City-owned property being disposed for $1) calls for cultural space within the proposed project—yet this community priority continues to go unheard by Council Member @CMShaunAbreu., @MarkLevine and city leadership.

Where is the cultural equity for all residents of Upper Manhattan? All our uptown neighborhoods deserve meaningful investment in the artists, cultural organizations, and creative communities that make them vibrant.

Cultural space is not a luxury. It is community infrastructure—and ALL upper Manhattan deserves its fair share based on need not political agenda. https://t.co/jMGF8UVrfk

NYC mayor, Zohran Mamdani, tried to break through the state troopers to stop the mass deportations while shouting:

'DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE 1st AMENDMENT?'

This IS what it looks like when a leader is fighting for humanity. 👏

Mamdani: Now, many of you know it’s a city of 8.5 million people. More than 3 million of us were born elsewhere. I’m one of them. We’re a city that’s proud of our immigrant heritage.

And when we think about especially what Haitian New Yorkers have had to deal with—not just for weeks or months or years, but frankly for decades—we have seen a cruelty that has become normalized. And to have people who, frankly, taught the world about freedom have their own freedom be put in jeopardy by the actions of a Supreme Court and a federal administration, it is not only cruel, it’s something that we will not ever accept.

And so we stand here as New Yorkers proud of standing in solidarity and proud to do everything that we can to keep people in their homes and to keep people together.

And we’re proud of that because we know that at the core of what it means to be a New Yorker is also to celebrate the many different places that we all come from, to understand that no matter where we were born, no matter what language we spoke growing up, we belong in the city and the city belongs to us.

And especially when you think about the fact, as you can see here on this pin, a team that brought us all together in the Knicks and reminded us of what it means to be a part of this city—the joy, the emotion, the ecstasy that comes with knowing yourself as a New Yorker.

And it wasn’t just embracing the people next to you whose names you’ve known for years. It was also jumping into the arms of a stranger, watching the game wherever you were, whether it was a LinkNYC kiosk or at a bar or in a backyard or on a delayed stream, somehow in the trunk of a random New Yorker’s car—you were watching the game.

And I think what those weeks also showed us was the magic of the city, and that at the heart of that is each and every New Yorker, no matter how different their stories are, whether they’re Haitian, whether they’re Syrian, whether they’re from wherever it may be in the world. They too are New Yorkers. We’re proud of them, we’re proud of the city.

It might be hot outside but the rent is freezing.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

More than 200,000 Black New Yorkers have been forced out of our City over the last two decades because of skyrocketing costs. Behind rent, child care is the largest expense families face in New York City. That's why we're making universal child care a reality.

Families have until this Friday, June 26, to apply for a 2-K seat this fall at https://t.co/UkFHfq2yRA.

I’m glad that FIFA decided to reverse this policy and allow water bottles to be brought into World Cup games.

No one should have to fear being priced out of being hydrated, especially fans who are often waiting for hours before a game in extreme heat.

WOW! Royalty visits Harlem Grown repost @HarlemGrown Yuien,

Yesterday, something extraordinary happened at our 134th Street Farm, His Majesty King Charles III came to visit Harlem Grown and spent time with our students, alumni, staff, and community partners.

In many ways, it felt surreal. But it also felt deeply affirming. For 15 years, this community has believed in a simple but powerful idea: when children have access to healthy food, safe green space, and people who champion them, their futures grow.

Help us reach more young people.

People often ask me why we do this work and why we believe so deeply that a single seed planted in Harlem can change the trajectory of a child’s life.

Yesterday provided that answer.

As I always say, no one can do everything, but everyone can do something. This moment was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when so many people choose to do their part.

I’m deeply grateful to all our supporters over the years, our Board of Directors, and to the partners who have stood with us on the farm and in this work, including Sharing Excess, Genesis Companies LLC, New York Public Library, ASCAP, Tiny Spoon Chef, Newman's Own Foundation, Chef JJ Johnson, and Elite Media.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. This moment belongs to every person who has planted, volunteered, donated, taught, partnered, encouraged, and believed in Harlem Grown.

Always grateful,

Tony Hillery, Harlem Grown Founder & CEO
