Longfellow Rising

Honoring the uprising that followed the police murder of George Floyd on Memorial Day of 2020, Longfellow Rising is committed to racial equity, creation care, affordable housing, worker justice, cultural vitality, economic prosperity and belonging. 

Our mission is to rebuild Downtown Longfellow with equity, sustainability and belonging. We envision a revitalized, diverse and sustainable place.

We are working collaboratively to rebuild with a focus on BIPOC ownership, strengthened social fabric infrastructure, and re-designed buildings that facilitate community gathering and belonging for all.

Every contribution to Longfellow Rising enables us to sponsor cultural events and activities that bring people together to promote healing and community building, to support small business owners and local developers in their journey of building or rebuilding, and to advocate for meaningful, values-driven change in our community.

Thank you for your support!
