The City is moving forward with their attempt to evict and destroy the garden. Our legal team is working hard in court and we are doing everything we can to achieve a solution that saves the garden and gets much-needed affordable housing at existing alternative sites within our Community Board and Council districts. Community green space and affordable housing should never come at the expense of one another!

Norman Siegel argued the case before 6 judges while ESG volunteers filled the spectator seats.  Our case to save Elizabeth Street Garden represents a greater effort to uphold environmental review at a City and State level for all open green spaces.  We'd like to take a moment to thank our entire legal team for doing everything they can to protect and preserve the garden for our community.  ✿ DONATE ✿ How You Can Help Save ESG As the two legal cases remain pending, it is vital that we continue to raise the necessary funds.
