United Neighbors of Prospect and Crown Heights (UNPCH)
@unpch.bsky.social
UNPCH is a coalition of residents, small business owners, faith leaders, and first responders working together to ensure equity in government access and representation in Prospect and Crown Heights.
One thing made abundantly clear the last few years, we need better representation in local government. It's important we all stay informed about plans for more building & more street/bus changes in our community. If you can make it Monday ask these candidates what their plans are for our community.

#Community!! WE SAVED MITCHELL'S SOUL FOOD!!! A 55 year old black-owned business in PH almost forced to close due to the Vanderbilt OS. Our #savemitchells campaign brought folks from all over NYC, LI & NJ to keep them going last year & managers left Sundays off the schedule this year! #organize

That's the narrative a certain group with a distinct diversity deficit pushes to keep power to push through their own agenda like high-rise development and street changes benefiting ride shares and amazon.

False - NYPD has nothing to do with the VOS. The largest chunk of money goes to pay the marshals who are supposed to man the barricades - but in fact, don't. The more you FOIL, the more you know.

We community organizers in PH/CH wondered the same thing, so we FOILed the DOT's contract with the PHNDC. Turns out this "volunteer operation" actually has a $140,000 payroll - none of which goes to NYPD - a good chuck of which is paid by the restaurants.
