Sharing this from our friends at Longfellow Rising! We're a part of this community, and we believe in what Longfellow Rising is doing. We've benefited from them and have brought our community great events like Oktoberfresh and Longfellow Rising Revival because of the work they're doing! They need our support!
Downtown Longfellow deserves more than empty promises and stalled spaces.
For years, this neighborhood has been shaped by the people who actually live, work, create, organize, and show up here every day. Small businesses. Artists. Neighbors. Community leaders. That’s who keeps this place alive.
Longfellow Rising exists to help protect that future and make sure development in Downtown Longfellow stays rooted in community, not disconnected decisions made without us.
But here’s the reality:
Without additional funding by June 30, this work pauses.
That means fewer community-driven projects, less advocacy, less organizing, and less support for the people trying to build something meaningful here.
If you believe Downtown Longfellow should stay in community hands, now’s the time to help keep the work going.
Donate. Share. Talk about it.
Build what the city won’t.
