T4P is now officially working with the Northwest Bronx Community & Clergy Coalition. We will be helping them in all aspects of their use of technology from infrastructure to web presence and social networking, as well working with media team to document their campaigns.
The NWBCCC is the oldest community and social justice organizations in NY and they work on issues such as education, immigration, health care and housing.
The most current campaign we will be helping out with is the redevelopment proposal by Related Companies, Inc to build a shopping mall in the Kingsbridge Armory in the Northwest Bronx. The Coalition is not against development, but wants to ensure a community benefits agreement, including a living wage provision is secured in the NYC's contract with Related.
Today, 17 Nov 2009, was the City Council's public hearing on the issue and T4P was there with the Coalition live tweeting and documenting the event.
