THE STAKES
Downtown Longfellow is still at a turning point.
Vacant lots.
Displacement pressure.
Underused spaces.
Outside development interests shaping the future of the neighborhood.
We believe the people who live, work, create, and organize here should help shape what comes next.
That only happens if community-led work survives.
Your contribution will help us advance our mission and boost the reach of our innovative programming. We are a registered 501(c)3 organization and your donations are tax-deductible.
