Resilient Red Hook: Earth Day 2026 — Red Hook Climate Justice Action Plan Series
Freight Transportation Planning 101: Red Hook's Role in a Blue-Green Future

For 56 years, Earth Day has called on us to think globally and act locally. This year, we're inviting you into a local conversation — right here on the Red Hook waterfront.

While the Adams administration pushed for a major redevelopment at the Brooklyn Marine Terminal, a critical conversation was being left out of public forums: how do we plan for a green/ blue freight future that works for our EJ community?

Join us for a foundational webinar on the freight and maritime systems that shape Red Hook and NYC currently— and learn how our waterfront can be a cornerstone of New York City's blue-green transportation future. Freight traffic is projected to grow by nearly 50% by 2045. Our community needs to be at the center of every planning decision that follows.

CTA: A new administration means a new window. Help us fill it with community knowledge!
Red Hook's waterfront is at the center of decisions being made right now — on freight, housing, climate, and jobs. The more our community understands how freight systems work, the stronger our voice in shaping what comes next.

Show up, get informed, and help us make the case.
