Remembering Staten Island: Green Space Organizing for Change

This tour is led by members of the a resident-led coalition of garden members, youth, and caregivers working to repair Hill Street Garden’s image, leadership, and systems. Participants will visit Hill Street Garden to learn how residents are organizing to expand access, shared governance, and food sovereignty in a borough often framed as distant or disconnected from movement work. The tour recontextualizes the “Forgotten Borough” by highlighting longstanding Black, Brown, and working-class immigrant organizing traditions and positioning green space as a site of repair, leadership development, and collective care.
