Thank you!

* A big part of our Clean Up Events is our ongoing Positive Affirmation Street Art Series created by L3BA neighborhood resident Painter + Street Artist, Palomas Del El Barrio. Palomas creates street art themes for our events and provides us with non toxic easily washable chalk that is safe for dogs and wildlife. Check out our Instagram Clean Up Highlight reels for more on our Positive Affirmation Street Art Series.

Cleaning an entire neighborhood can feel like an overwhelming and unattainable task. By focusing on a specific target area—Lexington and 3rd Avenue, from 96th to 104th Street—we can achieve a consistent plateau of cleanliness. Through regular "Clean Up + Street Tree Care" events, we aim to reach a point where our neighborhood is consistently clean and residents take pride in keeping it that way.

While our primary goal is the well-being of our own community, we hope our success serves as a model that spreads throughout the city, perhaps even sparking friendly competitions to see which NYC neighborhood can be the cleanest and greenest.
