I wrote about the Bronx Foodway, a public art project that fused with decades of South Bronx environmental and food justice organizing to become the only legal public food forest in NYC.

Herbs and berries are free for the picking along the Bronx River Foodway. But the public place for foraging is also a pathway to stronger connections with local ecologies and community self-determination.

both schools protested, but students at CUNY were charged with class D felonies (up to 7 yrs in prison) while students at Columbia were charged with class B misdemeanors (90 days in prison). ofc this is because cuny students are black/brown, low-income, first gen, undocumented...

Police violence at CCNY was more intense than at Columbia. There are reports of numerous students and faculty being tasered and pepper-sprayed by police on the Harlem campus. Two students had their teeth smashed and one undergraduateโ€™s ankle was broken.
