Robert Moses' Legacy of Harm: Community, Power, and the 21st Century Fight Against the Cross Bronx Expressway

Please join us for a convening on the work of the Bronx River Alliance and the Stop the Cross Bronx Expansion coalition, highlighting their recent win as the state rolled back plans for a “traffic diversion structure.” Panelists will go behind the scenes of the campaign and explore how community power, storytelling, and data-driven advocacy challenged racist urban planning. The conversation will highlight lessons for advancing public health, environmental, and transit equity.
