Where?
All around NYC, but mostly in Brooklyn. Maria Hernandez Park (Bushwick) and Herbert von King Park (BedStuy) are our home bases.
How?
We load up a bike with a small table, a blanket, and tea (donated by locals).
We bike to a public park or community event and set it all up.
We offer passersby free tea and a place to sit.
Why?
To create accessible spaces for conversation in our lonely world.
Free Tea -> Conversation -> Connection -> Community -> Liberation!
