Energized to stand with neighbors and advocates on the steps of City Hall today as we move closer to reclaiming the right to community ownership in NYC. A heartfelt thank you to Council Members Sandy Nurse and Crystal Hudson for supporting COPA and for championing the abolishment of the NYC tax lien sale—a policy that has harmed so many Black, brown, and working-class homeowners. Grateful to our coalition partners, including East New York CLT, UHAB and Chhaya Community Development Corporation for standing with Neighbors Helping Neighbors. Together, we’re building momentum for just alternatives that keep families in their homes and preserve generational wealth. Now is the time to give our communities the tools to shape their futures and protect affordable housing. Let’s keep pushing for real, lasting change! #CommunityOwnership #YAH #UHAB #AbolishTheTaxLienSale #NYCHousing #CLT #HousingJustice #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors

"The Heartbeat of Gowanus" Teaching Artists: Kristy McCarthy & Yolande Delius Location: 182 4th Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11217 Created in Collaboration with Fifth Avenue Committee Created by Lead Artists Kristy McCarthy and Yolande Delius, along with 13 Groundswell youth artists, this mural honors the legacy and ongoing efforts of local community organizers who have shaped Gowanus through advocacy, resilience, and unity. The Heartbeat of Gowanus celebrates the spirit of women-led and BIPOC-led activist movements that have long championed afforable and public housing, environmental justice, and social equity in the neighborhood. Participants of the Voices Her'd program conducted in-depth research, community interviews, and co-design workshops with local leaders and residents, which enabled them to develop their creative expression and civic leadership skills. Drawing from local archives, protest imagery, and stories shared by long-time Gowanus residents, the mural captures the strength and resilience of the Gowanus community while envisioning a future rooted in equity and sustainability. Thank you to everyone who joined us last week to celebrate the unveiling of our new mural with Fifth Avenue Committee! We're always grateful for our community coming together to celebrate the amazing hard work our artists do. 📸: Owen Madigan #groundswell #fifthavenuecommittee #gowanus #gowanusbrooklyn #community #unveiling #muralunveiling #communitysupport #communitylove #gowanuscommunity #murals #sli #summer #summerprograms #muralists #dogood #socialimpact #artforchange #artforgood
