Dec 11, 2024: Elmhurst Community Partnership Coat Drive Recap

In 2024, Queens mutual aid, hosted by Kaleidospace, Veggie Nuggets, and MJN/Street Works supported Elmhurst Community Partnership’s (ECP) big warm clothing drive. Thanks to community, our young network gathered and distributed 47 pairs of socks, 10 pairs of women's tights, and 15 pairs of gloves in less than one week and in partnership with 3 local shops. If you'd like to help us plan activities, sign up here.

Launching Street Works, public-space galleries for co-creative art

We're excited to announce Street Works, a platform collective members are building for artists who practice co-creation in public spaces. This is one way in which we hope to make justice normal in a cultural asset ecosystem that has not not served justice. (Image: Art: “Bending the Universe,” by Anjali Deshmukh.

Listen to our podcast: Into the Record

What if justice were normal? What and who will it take to imagine new habits, processes, and structures that default to loving care, anti-bias, pro-Earth, and solidarity?
