Brooklyn Brigilante
Born from a refusal to let New York's iconic bridge turn into a landfill, this is a community-led force dedicated to keeping the Brooklyn Bridge clean.
I believe we are at a crossroads regarding the bridge's legacy. By its owners, it's seen solely as a transit corridor. I see the bridge not just as a thoroughfare, but as a park, a museum, and a sanctuary. To truly honor the Roeblings’ vision, the Brooklyn Bridge requires a balance of not only technical and engineering oversight, but also a stewardship-focused lens to revive its legacy as a shared civic space.
