“FEMWORKS has gone green. Now, we’re educating our neighbors to adopt energy efficient practices. This event will unite our community in a way that has never been done before in Newark; a City that is positioned to be a leader in the “green” movement,” explained Kimberlee S. Williams, FEMWORKS Principal, Marketing Director and developer of ComeUnity Wire. “GREEN THE BLOCK is a progressive step in taking back our community to make it a safer, cleaner and greener environment.”

GREEN THE BLOCK is part of a national campaign steered by the Hip Hop Caucus and Green for All that educates and mobilizes low-income communities and communities of color to ensure they have a voice and stake in the clean-energy economy.
