As of June 1, 2018, 596 Acres is without a staff. 596acres.org, onedollarlots.org, nycommons.org and livinglotsnyc.org will continue to exist as digital resources for communities to access the information and tools we developed over the years and to organize online.
Unfortunately, we are not able at this time to provide direct advocacy or support for other projects. All emails and communications will be archived, but we cannot guarantee a response. Any changes to the status of our organization will be announced on 596acres.org.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our successes and persevered through our failures.
Onward!
Sincerely,
The 596 Acres Advisory Committee
