Green cred: <\/strong>Terrell has been working in the environmental justice movement for nearly a decade. He\u2019s organized from the Bronx to Buffalo, he\u2019s done solidarity and coalition work around climate justice in Bolivia and Cuba.<\/p>\n

Now, he\u2019s back in the neighborhood where he grew up: Harlem, N.Y. Terrell is a lead organizer at Brotherhood\/Sister Sol, a youth development organization where he helps area youth build connections to the land through urban gardening, a fruits and vegetables market, and safer green spaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are being harassed in open spaces, in green spaces.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What to expect in 2016:<\/strong> A new housing plan set forth by Mayor de Blasio would convert a number of community gardens in Harlem and Brooklyn to housing developments. Terrell plans on doing solidarity work to help preserve these green spaces. If these gardens are at risk, \u201cthen all our gardens are at risk,\u201d Terrell says. \u201cIt\u2019s about holding space by neighborhoods that are being rapidly changed by gentrification.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parks\u00a0and policing:<\/strong> Thanks to poor policing practices, many young people in Terrell\u2019s neighborhood don\u2019t feel safe in parks and outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are being harassed in open spaces, in green spaces,\u201d Terrell says. \u201cThat\u2019s what broken windows [policing]<\/a> is and that\u2019s where they try to exact control.\u201d<\/p>\n

So he\u2019s developed \u201cKnow Your Rights\u201d workshops that he hopes will help neighborhood kids reclaim their local green spaces.<\/p>\n

Morning moves:<\/strong> Best time to catch Terrell dancing? In the morning. \u201cI actively dance in the morning before I start to get ready for work as a way to usher in some funky-time energy for the day,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
