BrookLyn

Brooklyn is home to powerful people and powerful movements. As NYC’s largest borough, it holds deep Black historical roots—from free Black communities in Weeksville to the legacy of resistance in neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy and Flatbush. Brooklyn has long been a site of Black, Caribbean, immigrant, and working-class survival, joy, and struggle.

While gentrification, police surveillance, and housing injustice continue to threaten our communities, Brooklyn is also where fierce organizing happens every day. From Sunset Park to Crown Heights, Black feminist and queer-led groups, tenant unions, immigrant justice advocates, mutual aid crews, and youth leaders fight for safety, housing, food, and freedom.

Whether through community fridges, freedom schools, mental health response teams, or prison letter-writing circles, Brooklyn shows what abolition can look like in practice. Grounded in love, dignity, and collective survival, the borough continues to grow movements that honor its radical past and build toward a freer future.
