Constitution Day 2025: Discussion with CSI NYPIRG and Film Screening of "Emergent City"

Jack Byrd (CSI NYPIRG) will be there to help register students for the upcoming election in New York City this November 2025.

We will also be screening the documentary film Emergent City (2024, 1 hr, 41 mins) about the gentrification of Sunset Park in Brooklyn. Residents of Sunset Park face a tangled web of rising rents, a legacy of environmental racism, and the loss of the industrial jobs that once sustained their community. When a global developer purchases Industry City – a massive industrial complex on the waterfront – and begins to transform it into an “innovation district,” a battle erupts over the future of the neighborhood and of New York City itself. This is a CC CLUE event.
