Sustainable Development

The goal of WE ACT’s Sustainable Development Program Area is to develop and apply tools that empower the residents of Northern Manhattan and New York City to plan, design and achieve a healthy, sustainable and environmentally just community. WE ACT empowers residents to address irresponsible development proposals with community-based planning and development of sustainable, proactive initiatives. Our past successes in this Program Area continue to be manifested in our current projects.

Our current projects include the following:

• 125th Street Rezoning Project
• West Harlem Waterfront Park Project
  • From Trash to Treasure Campaign
• Go Green East Harlem!
• The Campaign for New York’s Future

• Columbia University Expansion Project
