3 in 5 Brooklynites Surveyed Rarely Or Never Engage In Non-Voting Civic Activities
Brooklyn Org works with nonprofits that mobilize all Brooklynites to create our borough’s bright future together as a community, through voter registration, organizing for policy reform, and local leadership initiatives. We strive to build a Brooklyn where everyone knows that their voice is heard and change is within reach, alongside our partners.
If you’d like to get more involved in the community but don’t know where to start, join us for our annual Brooklyn Org Volunteer Day on April 26th:
