Green Below 14’s mission is to help the local community improve our parks, playgrounds and open spaces in Downtown Manhattan, especially below 14th Street.
Elizabeth Street Garden sent a questionnaire to candidates running for NY Assembly D 65 & 66, NY State Senate D27, & NY Congressional D10.

Spring has Sprung!
Community gardens are the green gems of so many communities across the city.
That’s why I was thrilled to announce funding from the infrastructure law we passed that will support 260 community gardens across all five boroughs!

“In addition to the out-of-scale development, it has too many loopholes that allow for developers to damage the historic districts through building enlargements with no affordable housing required,” CSC said. https://t.co/IZkZtmrzSR #SaveSohoNohoChinatown#KeepTheArtsInNewYotk
Today we sent a letter to @NYGovCuomo urging him to halt construction on this monument until a proper community engagement process has been followed. Residents have real concerns about the placement and the expedited construction following the Governor’s Wednesday announcement.
#PauseTheSaws Do not make irreversible change by cutting down trees and removing invaluable green in NYC. Please consider if this is the right place to honor our essential workers
Grateful for the work of dedicated residents who have successfully delayed destruction of the park for today. @NYGovCuomo should not use the pandemic as an excuse to take away green space. Essential workers have spoken out against this plan & I am glad to join them. #PauseTheSaws
