Don't Box Us In

All too often people look at a number like 30 percent Asian or 70 percent immigrant and ideas are formed about what a neighborhood is about.

The Rego Park Green Alliance in conjunction with the community is working on a new initiative called Don’t Box Us In.

The initiative is based on the fundamental idea that we are more than our census numbers. All too often people look at a number like 30 percent Asian or 70 percent immigrant and ideas are formed about what a neighborhood is about. As a community we want to be judged by our people and our actions. Numbers do not define us nor do they speak to who we are as people. The “Don’t Box Us In” project will look to the community to document who we are as a community.

The Rego Park Green Alliance is calling on the Rego Park community to send in their photos. These photos will be put online and be on displayed around the community.

For more information please contact Yvonne Shortt at the Rego Park Green Alliance.
