Exploring Activist History

As a living history of urban activism, the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) chronicles the East Village community’s history of grassroots action. It celebrates the local activists who transformed abandoned spaces and vacant lots into vibrant community spaces and gardens. Many of these innovative, sustainable concepts and designs have since spread out to the rest of the city and beyond.MoRUS partners with Time's Up!, a not-for-profit direct-action environmental organization that uses events and educational programs to promote a more sustainable planet. Our organization was very important in the establishment of biking infrastructure here in NYC. We host many free bike rides and workshops in the NYC boroughs.MoRUS Website@morusnyc on Twitter@morusnyc on InstagramTime's Up! Website@nyctimesup on Twitter@times_up_nyc on Instagram
