Asociación de inquilinos de 894 Riverside Drive
PREMIADO
Asociación de inquilinos de 894 Riverside Drive, es un reflejo de cómo el poder de la comunidad puede ser un catalizador de cambios positivos. Son defensores incansables de nuestros vecinos y nuestra comunidad en general que, a pesar de sus dificultades y pérdidas durante esta pandemia, continúan abogando por cambios positivos. La pandemia se ha cobrado muchas vidas, incluida su querida miembro Trinidad Hidalgo, también conocida como Doña Trina, quien luchó junto a sus vecinos para detener la conversión de su edificio en una cooperativa que habría desplazado a muchas familias. En su honor y en toda la Asociación de Inquilinos, otorgamos el premio Igniting Hope (Encendiendo esperanza).
Since 1979 our mission has been to serve as a catalyst for positive change in the lives of the people in our community. In over 40 years of service, our goals and reach have expanded beyond measure. When we started out, we were a small team working out of a tiny apartment, armed with nothing but a fierce passion for protecting, strengthening, and organizing a community of recent immigrants. Today, we’ve expanded our reach to include more of our city’s most vulnerable and resilient populations, and we remain committed to our aim of being a catalyst for positive change in the lives of the over 14,000 individuals we serve annually. We do this through a range of services, from providing support to domestic violence survivors, representing families facing eviction, and giving young adults the tools they need to jumpstart their careers. None of this would have been possible without the help of our amazing sponsors and friends.
Join us in honoring our community on Thursday, April 29 at 6:00 PM.
