recycle + reinvest
heal the block, ONE CLEAN UP AT A TIME
Our activism focuses on empowering residents of historically low-resourced neighborhoods to take action and lead the charge in cleaning up their local spaces. For far too long, these communities have been burdened with pollution, litter, and environmental neglect.
Our clean-up initiatives are not just about picking up trash—they’re about reclaiming space, restoring pride, and building a future where all residents have access to clean streets, green spaces, and a healthier environment. We bring together community members, local organizations, and activists to transform neglected areas into thriving, sustainable spaces.
Join us in this movement to uplift communities, fight environmental injustice, and create lasting change, one clean-up at a time.
