East River Park Action
@erpaction.bsky.social
We are here to improve the Lower East Side/East Village and New York City's health by advocating for a green, biodiverse, welcoming, shady, park with real grass fields. Our East River Park is being needlessly destroyed. We look to the future.
Developers + the jail + the demolition and then sterile remaking of our park is leading us to ever-more gentrification, Disneyification, enshittification of life downtown. Rally Sunday, Jan. 4, 111 Centre, 11 a.m.

Proposals 2-6 on the ballot are not good for our Lower East Side and East Village--or anywhere in NYC. Kathryn Freed gives us the good reasons to vote NO in our latest post, Adams vs. Adams Family Values--NYC Style: eastriverparkaction.org/2025/10/22/a...

The “Touch Grass” bill to BAN artificial turf in New York City Parks has been introduced by our City Council Member Christopher Marte. Please support this important environmental and health legislation.

Ban Artificial Turf. Pass NYS Senate bill S6868. We've been advocating this to improve our health, the city’s environment and to help stem climate change. Yes—real grass fields (properly maintained) can do all that, and artificial turf damages all that. Contact Sen. Brian Kavanagh@nysenate.gov.
