About 123 Community Space:
Founded in July 2007 by several NYC grassroots organizations and many individual volunteers, 123 hosts an after school program, a free bike workshop, a children’s photography program, a screenprinting studio, an infoshop and lending library, political prisoner letter writing dinners, and special events. We envision 123 as a safe haven for all, and as a fertile ground for local projects and activities to take root and grow.
