Senator Rivera Hosts Inaugural Environmental Justice Fair
October 7, 2024
Last Saturday, Senator Rivera celebrated his inaugural Environmental Justice Fair at Williamsbridge Oval. The fair drew over 300 kids and families, all eager to learn more about local environmental solutions and engage in a variety of fun and educational activities.
Attendees enjoyed interactive challenge cards that encouraged them to think critically about environmental issues while participating in hands-on activities such as making arts and crafts with sustainable materials. The fair not only provided entertainment including surprise raffles but also fostered a sense of community and responsibility towards making a positive impact on the environment.
Senator Rivera expressed his gratitude to the event's sponsors, including Ponce Bank, Metro Plus Health, Bronx River Alliance, Patagonia, Crazy Fruits, and all the organizations that contributed to the event’s success.
Your support helped create an inspiring atmosphere where community members could connect and learn about critical solutions to protect our environment. I look forward to continuing these conversations and fostering community engagement in the fight for environmental justice."
