Queens Community Events

Join WQCLT and over 100+ organizations at city hall to let our city council know that they need to pass the Community Land Act now!! 

The Community Land Act is a set of bills that would grant Community Land Trusts to have right of first refusal with Community Opportunity to Purchase (COPA), grant public sites to the community through the Public Land for Public Good (PLPG), and give tenants the opportunity to purchase their building with the support of a CLT through Tenant Opportunity to Purchase (TOPA) and permanently abolish the tax lien sale!

 Flood Sensor Aunty is a devised play about a flood sensor working at her aunt’s chai shop who really wants to be a movie star. Halfway between really funny devised theater and culturally competent community disaster prevention for South Asian/Indo Caribbean communities, this show is about how the best way to protect yourself from flooding, climate change, and despair is through knowing your neighbors. In partnership with NYC Emergency Management, audiences leave nourished with bellies full of free oat milk chai, laughs, flood protection resources like flood alarms and headlamps, and calls to action. We've had four performances in brown public spaces this past September (Richmond Hill, Jackson Heights, Floral Park, and Astoria)- and we’re coming back with six more performances in every borough this Earth Day (April 2025)!!
