This Saturday, August 25th, there will be a benefit party to raise money for two community groups in Sunset Park, the SPEAC School Planning Team and SPAN. Both groups are 100% volunteer, community-led, and consensus based. The SPEAC School Planning Team is seeking to open a new 6th-12th grade public school in our neighborhood with a focus on wellness. SPAN (Sunset Park Alliance of Neighbors) is a group of community members organizing around issues of over-development and gentrification.
