Word From the Curb is a series of live broadcasts this election season where WNYC's All Things Considered is out in communities across the city to ask New Yorkers what they want to see in their next mayor.
This week we were in Southeast Queens and talked with two people who have spent much of their careers in advocacy focused on issues critical to the health of the community.
William Scarborough is president of Southeast Queens Residents Environmental Justice Coalition. He has focused on issues like groundwater flooding, which has been afflicting southeast Queens residents for decades.
Jermaine Sean Smith is the executive director of the Southern Queens Park Association. He’s working on the preservation of green space for the community.
