Town Hall: Clearing the Air

🏙️ A Readout of New Data: Health Risks & Air Quality Levels of Chinatown’s Megajail

As the excavation and construction phases of the Manhattan Borough-Based “Megajail” begin, concerns are rising in Chinatown about potential issues similar to those experienced during the demolition phase. This time, air, noise, and vibration issues are expected to persist for several years.

Following a previous town hall with Neighbors United Below Canal, which examined the health and environmental risks posed by the demolition phase, we are reconvening the community on August 13th from 6-8 PM at The Hub to continue the conversation and prepare for the construction phase. Our panel will discuss findings from a recent air quality monitoring study conducted during the megajail’s demolition phase, share experiences advocating for improved safety measures, and explore how we can collectively fight for better solutions.

🪑 Limited seating — RSVP here to reserve your spot. We hope to see you there!
