The event will highlight the role of community gardens in New York City’s sustainability and environmental future. The forum\, moderated by internationally acclaimed food justice advocate Karen Washington\, aims to provide an open\, educational platform engaging with important issues surrounding green spaces\, urban agriculture\, food insecurity\, and climate resilience. \nWe will address the vital role of community gardens in New York’s infrastructure\, followed by a moderated Q&A with mayoral candidates. The event will also challenge the narrative that community gardens obstruct affordable housing development\, exploring solutions to balance urban growth and green space preservation. This forum offers candidates the opportunity to share their vision for a sustainable New York City and engage with voters passionate about community gardens\, environmental justice\, and sustainable urban policies. \nWe hope you can join us for this important conversation. \nKaren Washington is the Co-Founder of Black Urban Growers\, La Familia Verde/Garden of Happiness & NYCCGC past president.
