Friends of Gadsden Creek

We are a grassroots, community campaign opposing the destruction of Gadsden Creek & the patterns of injustice towards the Gadsden Green community.

04/24/2026

On Earth Day, dozens of volunteers, neighbors, and community members gathered to clean up our beloved Gadsden Creek.

In this piece with reporter Maya Brown, FOGC organizer, Jackie Winston, reminded us why this work matters: “Uplifting the stories of the people that live here, as well as the vital ecosystem services this creek offers, is everything.”

A huge thank you to the for co-organizing the cleanup and for helping us care for the creek. 💚
