The Streets for People Party is a moment of celebration, community, and activism.
These streets are ours.
Join Transportation Alternatives for the Streets for People Party!
This year we are entering our 52nd year of relentless advocacy and organizing to transform our streets across New York City. At our spring benefit, we will reflect on how far our shared movement has come and, together, look to the future to redefine what’s possible when we put people first on our streets.
Every dollar raised at TA's Streets for People Party directly powers bold ideas and actions and our citywide grassroots organizing — that transform our city for generations to come. Please join us!
