The Flossy Org, founded by Jibreel Jalloh and Winnie Wu, is advocating for a new community center in Canarsie to address local issues like gun violence and environmental justice. With funding secured for anti-violence programs, they are now seeking city and state support for the center, which they believe will promote recreation, advocacy, and education. Their efforts aim to create a safe space for youth, thereby enhancing public safety and community well-being, as expressed by Wu's commitment to recognizing Canarsie's potential.
"Canarsie is a community I feel like isn't often recognized... We have such great talent, such great people. It's such a great community."
