The community sensor network is growing, and your input is key. Bring your neighborhood knowledge, explore what the current data shows, and help make sure the next sensors are placed where they matter most — based on what you and your neighbors care about.

What We'll Do:

• Map What Matters: Help identify where new sensors should be placed within the focus area shown on the map below.
• See the Data: Learn how to access the sensor data and see what it’s already telling us about air quality.
• Community Goals: Share your ideas for how you want the data to be used.

RSVP NOW

This event is part of the Common SENSES project, a partnership between the City of Boston Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative, Project R.I.G.H.T. Inc, and Northeastern University. For more information about the project, visit the Environmental Sensor Network on Blue Hill Avenue page.

Join us for a new play by the Dorchester Weather Theatre Collective!

Produced and devised in collaboration with a community of local neighborhood artists and activists, The Lot Next Door explores issues and dynamics at the intersection of community development, environmental justice, and social resilience through the retelling of a true story in which residents fight a proposed development lot on the corner of Woodrow Ave and Norfolk St in Dorchester.

Indigenous peoples, histories, stories, and culture have been erased from the City of Boston and Massachusetts. You rarely see the mention of our peoples across the City and if you do, it’s rarely from an Indigenous perspective. Due to the history of erasure in Massachusetts, you don’t see many events or convenings centering Indigenous knowledge. Our history in this city and state needs to reckon with that exclusion and erasure.

In partnership with the North American Indian Center of Boston and Northeastern University, we are hosting our second annual Indigenous symposium. These annual events will be led by Indigenous peoples, centering and platforming Indigenous knowledge. This year we’d like to focus on land and the work that Indigenous communities are doing to protect land and restore land. This will be a one day event, two panel discussions, and exhibition of art.

Proposed Schedule:

Panel Discussion

• Land Back + Conservation + Environmental Justice
• Cultural Preservation

Artist show + Artist Share Out

Our symposium is sponsored by: City of Boston, City of Boston Equity and Inclusion, North American Indian Center of Boston, and Mills College at Northeastern.

Accessibility, Health and Safety:

• Our online event will include automated captions.
