"I think that [Sunset Park] can be a model of what's possible. So we wanted an event to celebrate that. Everybody's in doom and gloom, and we're saying, 'Hey, you know what? Let's dance, and let's show what's possible because we have solutions.'"
"The festival, titled 'Climate Justice Lives Here!', was hosted by UPROSE, Brooklyn's oldest Latino community-based organization focusing on environmental and social justice founded in 1966."
"The event featured cultural and musical performances, interactive learning circles such as clothing patchworking and mending workshops to reduce fashion waste, a native plants workshop, a seed bombing workshop, a diverse food bazaar, and art activities."
"UPROSE's achievements include the offshore wind facility at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, which began construction in June and will provide clean electricity to 500,000 homes once completed."
