Allston Brighton Green Space Advocates

The Allston Brighton Green Space Advocates (ABGSA) formed at the Community Summit in October 2003. Residents decided that ongoing grassroots organizing was needed in order to enhance and preserve neighborhood parks and urban wilds.

Monthly ABGSA Meetings

The Allston Brighton Green Space Advocates meet the third Wednesday of every month from 7:00PM - 9:00PM at the ABCDC. The Green Space Advocates may hold outdoor meetings in our neighborhood open spaces.

For more information, contact Kate Jordan at (617) 787-3874 ext. 216.
