Join UPROSE—Brooklyn’s oldest Latino community organization—for El Camino de Juana, a hyper-local, 90-minute tour of Sunset Park through a climate justice lens. We’ll bring to life GRID 2.0, our community-led plan to decarbonize the neighborhood & operationalize a Just Transition. Move beyond mainstream narratives focused on developments like Industry City, Made in NY, or the Climate Innovation Hub to hear directly from local residents. As we walk through the neighborhood & waterfront, we’ll discuss ways to preserve Sunset Park’s working class character, protect its industrial waterfront, strengthen social cohesion, and build community power in the age of climate change. Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and learn how you can help fight displacement and uplift frontline leadership to shape a future by—and for—the people of Sunset Park.
Accessibility
We will walk approximately 1.5 miles on flat sidewalks and paved streets, which are wheelchair accessible. The route is near multiple public transit options. We recommend comfortable shoes and water. We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive experience for all participants. If you require special accommodations, please let the organizers know.
Location Information
RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
