Council Member Marte is always excited to partner with community groups and organizations across Lower Manhattan on free events throughout the year. Below you’ll find a list of upcoming events for families, seniors, pets, and more. We hope to see you soon!
More Garden! Fund Presents: People’s Earth Power (PEP) Talk
Join More Gardens! Fund for the first PEP Talk on Sunday, September 27, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., at The Clemente, Flamboyan Theater, 107 Suffolk Street, New York, NY 10002.
What can we do together to build a more climate resilient neighborhood? What should our local priorities be?
As our neighborhood faces extreme heat, flooding, and air pollution, residents’ experiences need to help shape the solutions. Council Member Chris Marte will join Emily Harwell, Nando Rodriguez, and Aresh Javadi to explore how we can strengthen community green spaces, support neighborhood efforts, and turn shared concerns into practical action.
The panel will be followed by an open community dialogue, with space to ask questions, share experiences, and identify priorities for ongoing community work and policy engagement. It is also an opportunity to meet neighbors and connect with people working on these issues.
Where: The Clemente, Flamboyan Theater, 107 Suffolk Street, New York, NY 10002
When: Sunday, September 27, 2:30pm-4:30pm
