Get involved with our work

Join us for this month's community conversation! For over 30 years, THE POINT has been fighting for environmental justice with the goal of clean air and improved community wellbeing. If you live, work, or go to school in Hunts Point - we want to connect on an ongoing basis to make decisions together, learn from each other, and build collective power. We kicked off our Community Convo series this February, and we're back with another meeting on Friday, April 24th!   As we prepare for extreme heat season, the theme for this conversation will be community resiliency 🌱 Here are some questions we will explore:  How is Hunts Point more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change? (ex: extreme heat, power outages, flooding)  What does it look like to take care of each other in the face of challenges?  What actions can we take to build a more resilient Hunts Point?  Help us spread the word!

Get ready for the Fish Parade 2026! The Fish Parade & Arts Festival is an annual procession through Hunts Point connecting the community to the Bronx River. Like shoaling fish, the community marches together in a family-friendly, vibrant celebration. The parade combines activism, joy, and community building. Participants often use banners, costumes, and puppets representing marine life. The parade culminates in an arts festival featuring live music, dancing, and art-making. The event is also a platform for Bronx residents and organizations to raise awareness about environmental issues and to advocate for environmental justice. The fish puppets leading the parade are looking to return to the Bronx River. As a symbol of hope, life, and resistance, this community celebrates how it has thrived over the years and continues to fight for the future.
