Since its inception, Sixth Street Community Center has fostered economic and community development through a variety of programs including after school and summer programs, tenants rights and entitlement advocacy, and life skills and career development for teens. Beginning in 1996, Sixth Street Community Center initiated projects that bring youth and community residents together around issues of sustainable urban living, sustainable agriculture, environmental advocacy, health and nutrition through our Community Supported Agriculture, Seeds To Supper, and SOS Food programs.
COVID BAILOUT NYC
While COVID-19 rates have dropped in New York City, the virus is still raging on Rikers. At the same time, the state is using the pandemic as a pretext to send more people to NYC jails for longer, and to ramp up criminalization of the city's Black and brown communities. Meanwhile, violence in the city jails is rising. This moment calls on us to be our own protectors.
Over 3,000 people are in NYC jails right now, simply because they can't afford to pay bail. By paying bail, we can get our neighbors free, out of the clutches of the state and into the safety of communities. Each time we do this, we honor the traditions and power of our enslaved ancestors, who organized and pooled their resources to buy each other's freedom.
