Everyone is talking about  — The rapid gentrification of Brooklyn.  Rents are going up, people are being displaced and small long-time mom and pop businesses are closing. Racial profiling and ticketing harassment due to Broken Windows policing grows worse every day.

Tenants, especially those who live in non-rent stabilized housing, homeowners and small business owners are at an unfair disadvantage because they do not have access to the same legal representation that landlords and developers do.  And seems like the NYPD is above the law and can do whatever they want in our neighborhoods without impunity.

Help Us Change This !

Equality for Flatbush does affordable housing, anti-gentrification and police accountability organizing in Brooklyn.   We’ve organized “No Eviction Zones”  in 9 neighborhoods in Brooklyn  — including Bedford-Stuyvesant/Clinton Hill, Bushwick, Crown Heights, East Flatbush,  East New York,  Flatbush, Park Slope, Prospect Heights and Sunset Park.

YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL FOR GROWING OUR WORK IN 2018

In 2018, we want to take our organizing work to the next level by raising $20K for The E4F Rapid Response Legal Fund that will provide free legal services by trusted attorneys to tenants, homeowners, small businesses and people impacted by police violence across Brooklyn . We also want to be able to pay for the research, court costs, and legal fees required to hold more greedy landlords, developers and the NYPD accountable and stop the violence caused by gentrification.

Equality for Flatbush has only two goals  –  to end NYPD murders and to stop the displacement of low to middle income people from our community due to gentrification.  Help us raise $20K for a The E4F Rapid Response Legal Fund so we can fight greedy landlords, developers and the NYPD

With Your HELP— #WEWILLWIN

Yours in struggle
