Come to Our Monthly Meeting
You can make real, tangible changes to how streets and sidewalks function in the Bronx and Uptown.
The Bronx/Uptown Activist Committee chooses local campaigns and fights for changes on-the-ground in their neighborhoods, like bike lanes and new pedestrian plazas.
Come to the next meeting to get involved in making these campaigns a success.
Our meetings are generally hybrid, occasionally online only or in person only.

Our History
Founded in 1993, the Bronx/Uptown Activist Committee helped develop the Bronx Greenway Plan and organized the first Safe Routes to School program in North America, now a federal program. The City's first Neighborhood Slow Zone came to the Bronx because of the committee’s activism.

Let's create a people-centered bridge for the Bronx and Upper Manhattan.
