If you haven't already heard, Bro/Sis is up to major things! We are excited to share that our 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 program's premiere collaboration with the iconic @carriemaeweems & @thepeacepoets - a public art & public health campaign - was installed outside of the @brooklynmuseum this weekend. 𝐓𝐚𝐠 𝐮𝐬 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The campaign includes our alumni's poetry, The Peace Poets, on the Museum's entry steps, & PSA's featuring their poetry projected onto massive screens in front of the museum. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 @patch 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐢𝐨. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The poetry reads: "COVID 19 is not a hoax, the pre-existing condition is poverty; it is the plague of inequity, demand the space your dignity deserves."⁠⠀

Come through and support our growing youth-run far

Come through and support our growing youth-run farmers' market! The market is managed by the young people in our Environmental Program & runs every Weds until Nov 25, providing fresh food to over 2,000 community residents in an area deemed a food desert due to the lack of quality supermarkets and access to fresh produce.

This year, this is in addition to the over 200,000 meals we have provided during weekly food distributions to our youth and our community in response to the #COVID19 crisis. Visit us! 🥦⁠⠀

Our amazingly talented alumna and youth activist N

Our amazingly talented alumna and youth activist Nicole Castillo recently wrote a piece on immigration, 'The Fears of Voting While Being an Immigrant American Citizen,' as part of her Art & Journalism summer internship at @nyphospital's @uptownhubnyc program. Read Nicole's article via the link in our bio. ⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
As part of her internship, Nicole also participated in 'Untold Uptown,' a joint collective of youth in New York City who use their voices to empower and take on different issues prominent throughout the city. Nicole is from West Harlem, New York. She currently attends the College of Mount Saint Vincent, pursuing a degree in English, Writing, and Environmental Sciences.⁠

Did you know your gift to Bro/Sis counts 2x today?

Did you know your gift to Bro/Sis counts 2x today? Two Bro/Sis donors have pledged a Matching Gift up to a total of $50k, and we are so close to our goal! ⁠
⁠
As you know, we've expanded our efforts in light of #COVID19 - we've provided over 150k meals, disbursed over $75k of financial assistance, increased mental health care for our young people, and provided over 100 laptops to enable remote learning. ⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
Our emergency efforts will continue for the foreseeable future, but we need your help to do this work and continue to support the growing number of families that are have been especially hard hit during this crisis. Please consider giving what you can via the link in our bio! It would mean so much to the thousands of young people we serve year-round.⁠
