Our main goal using grassroots organizing is to build and launch an anti-gentrification website hub that will serve as a documentary archive as well as provide vital legal, housing and community organizing resources to help Brooklyn residents stay in their homes.
*We define ‘gentrification’ as the deliberate pricing out of low-to-middle income residents from neighborhoods by corporations, real estate developers, and landlords in favor of renting, selling, and catering to people with higher and/or more flexible incomes. At the same time, we know from first-hand experience that the same unscrupulous property owners who use tactics to force long-time older tenants of color out of their rent-stabilized apartments will turn around and illegally overcharge incoming younger white tenants for the same apartment. For this very reason, we believe that all of us- long-time and new residents, communities of color and white communities, low-income and middle-class people - have a stake in the urgent struggle to save affordable housing in Brooklyn.
Before It's Gone // Take It Back is a Brooklyn-wide project of Equality for Flatbush : E4F new people of color-led multinational grassroots organization which does anti-police repression, affordable housing and anti-gentrification organizing in the Flatbush and East Flatbush communities of Brooklyn, NY.
