Support Newtown Creek Celebration
Friday, June 22, 2012 | Filed in: Newtown Creek Celebration
My collaborators, Sherry Teitelbaum, Heather Nielsen and I dreamed up a way to use puppetry, pageantry and parade elements to engage young people with an environmental problem right in their backyard: polluted Newtown Creek.
Did you know that 17 to 30 million gallons of oil have been spilled into Newton Creek?
Currently, the creek is being cleaned up. But when the cleanup is complete, who do you think will be of voting age to demand public green space? Today’s young people! In a fun and creative way, our arts project will begin to plant the seeds of agency in today’s youth.
But we can’t do the project without your support.
Visit the campaign and make a contribution today by clicking on widget below!
And guess what? We have lots of perks for everyone who contributes! Visit the campaign page to see perks ranging from posters, to photos of the event, even a puppet from the show!
If you can’t contribute to the campaign, there’s other ways you can help make this project happen
All the Best,
Kevin
