About this listen

This week on Nuance, Mike Scala and Jay Carter are joined by community advocate Christina Wilkinson to unpack the controversy surrounding the Sunset Community Garden in Ridgewood, Queens. What started as a well-meaning community project has spiraled into a debate about political ideology, public space, and constitutional rights that invoke First Amendment concerns and have led to court battles.


This week on Nuance:

- The origin and purpose of the Sunset Garden in Ridgewood

- Allegations of political litmus tests and exclusionary practices

- Public versus private use of government property

- The First Amendment in the context of community spaces

- Legal battles and the city's role in enforcement
