South Bronx Unite fights to improve and protect the future of Mott Haven and Port Morris.
“Enough is Enough…”
In 2012, South Bronx residents faced yet another assault on our quality of life. New York State and City granted over $130 million in taxpayer subsidies to FreshDirect, an online grocer, to relocate their diesel trucking warehouse to the South Bronx waterfront.
Our Core Projects
The Waterfront
We live on a peninsula, but we’ve been barbed-wire fenced off from our own water.
Our vision for the Mott Haven-Port Morris waterfront provides access, green space, and flood protection.
The HEArts Center
We’re building a community center designed by us, for us. It will provide holistic health, education, and the arts (HEArts) for South Bronx residents.
This will create a cycle of opportunity instead of a cycle of harm.
The Clean Air Program
1 in 5 children in the South Bronx has asthma, caused by an assault of industrial pollution, highways, and lack of green space.
With our clean air program, we’re fighting back.
The Local Action Committee
Our strength has always come from organizing together.
The Local Action Committee turns decades of community action into a permanent space for education, strategy, and power-building.
Land Reclamation
Mott Haven and Port Morris share a single park between ~60,000 residents, many of whom live too far away to use it.
We advocate for more parks, gardens, and green spaces, accessible to everyone.
