Join us for a crucial conversation highlighting the Capping the Cross-Bronx Expressway Campaign as part of our annual pre-orientation program, Urban Plunge. Guided by Nilka Martell, the visionary who led the Capping the Cross-Bronx movement. In this panel we aim to explore the intersection of environmental justice and policy-making.

The panel features policy experts, who will provide insightful context on the policy-making process, as well as share their knowledge about health issues associated with the Expressway. They will also delve into the efforts of Re-Imagining The Cross-Bronx in gathering community input, shedding light on how public involvement can shape policy decisions and foster a better future.

This discussion invites you to immerse yourself in a thought-provoking dialogue, providing you an opportunity to engage with the pressing issues of environmental justice and the path from advocacy to policy-making.
