The Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance, of which TSTC is a member, is hiring a new coordinator to carry out its community education and organizing work, support the participation of its member organizations in the campaign, and manage its day-to-day communications and operations. The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated commitment to working in and with environmental justice communities, excellent communications skills in a range of settings, and an understanding of the impacts of infrastructure decisions on the communities that bear them.

The Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance is comprised of five community-based organizations and two city-wide advocacy groups. For nearly a decade, the SBRWA has campaigned to replace the 1.25-mile-long Sheridan Expressway with 28 acres of affordable housing, open space, and new economic development opportunities. The New York State Department of Transportation is currently comparing the SBRWA’s Community Plan for the Sheridan’s future to a proposal to expand the highway in an environmental impact study.
