Support Black Central Brooklyn!

Brooklyn Movement Center organizes Black Central Brooklynites in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and Brownsville, and our allies, to build collective power and address the issues that make life most challenging for Black and low-income residents of Central Brooklyn. 

Over its 15-year history, BMC has conducted research to document the needs and concerns of Black Central Brooklynites, led campaigns to make streets safer, reduce street harassment and respond to and prevent police violence, launched an award-winning citizen journalism program and podcast, incubated food justice programs and more. 

We are stronger when we build and leverage our collective power, which is why I'm asking for your support for BMC. 

A donation to BMC is an investment in Black communities in Brooklyn, Black Futures, and an affirmation that together, we can build the solutions we need to thrive. BMC is currently the only Black-led and Black-focused grassroots community organization in Central Brooklyn.

Unfortunately, BMC became a victim of displacement as we were forced to move from the Black-owned historical mansion that was our home for 15 years. The home was a collective space held by many movement organizations, and BMC's displacement is a prime example of one of the key challenges our community faces. 

Sadly, the second-generation Black owners were forced to try to sell the property to pay off a tax lien. A gift to BMC will help us rent gathering spaces in Central Brooklyn so our community can keep strategizing and organizing together.
