Boycotting and protesting is not the only way to get things done. Mott Haven residents should just talk to people who are in control of what they need and seek, and if no actions are being taken, that is when you take action to get action. I feel that if people take action they will get action, so in order for Mott Haven to become a better place, they must request and let people know that they want it to become a better place. Mott Haven isn't gonna change by itself and people aren't just going to come and fix Mott Haven up on their own, so you must get the word out and make sure it is heard. These such actions can get the higher level to fix and take the necessary actions, but when taking actions, make sure you take it safely.
Actions are good to be taken but only good actions.
There should never be any actions that isn't necessary or that could injury one or more humans.
