Resilient Red Hook website launch

We care deeply for the Red Hook community, and advocate for climate change justice and a more resilient future for Red Hook. This group was previously called NY Rising and was founded August 2013, in response to superstorm Sandy, with NYS funding, as part of a state-wide initiative from the NYS Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery.  The goal was to create a resiliency plan for Red Hook with $3MM in NYS funding. That resiliency plan was completed in April 2014 and can be found athttp://redhookcrp.wordpress.com.  Our group continues to meet after creating that plan; and in early 2017, we renamed ourselves Resilient Red Hook.  

The donations through this campaign are specifically going to fund the development of our website to be launched this spring. We received a wonderful grant through the Pratt Institute's Design Corps, where we are working with students to design a deeply informative website to help local Red Hook residents understand  and building a resilient future in Red Hook.

The funds will go towards the programming end of the design. We will be launching our website in early June with the programming being completed in May.
