Moments from Our Bronx’s 52nd Anniversary Gala celebrating 52 Years of Building Our Bronx. 🥂
🏰 With full hearts, we paid tribute to the three decades of leadership, community organizing, and partnership and innovation across sectors that paved the way for a ground-breaking economic development project at the Kingsbridge Armory.
We are proud to have uplifted six honorees who each brought visionary leadership from the different sectors that coalesced to build a new model for economic development at the Armory.
-Wilson Martinez, Deacon, Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church
-Lucia Gomez, National Immigration & Worker Rights Coordinator, Laborers’ International Union of North America
-Brendan Griffith, President, Central Labor Council
-Elisabeth Ortega-Bailey, Kingsbridge Armory Leader
-Pierina Sanchez, City Council Member, District 14
-Elisse Douglass, Founder, East Freedman & Main
This is only the beginning. Of bringing our community’s vision to life at the Armory. And of scaling these successes for community ownership across the Bronx.
🏗️👷🏾Join us at the Bronx Economic Development Summit June 5th & 6th at the Andrew Freedman Home—free and open to the public. Registration is LIVE at link in bio.
