Rosa Maria de la Torre, program coordinator of the Chelsea Housing Group at Hudson Guild in New York City since 1998, received the Dororthy Epstein Community Service Award at a Hudson Guild dinner on Dec. 6. In addition to working on many local tenant initiatives, this community activist is a founding organizer of Community-Labor United for Postal Jobs and Services — along with Johnnie Stevens pictured wearing glasses — which mobilized to stop the threatened closure of a Chelsea post office.
