Brooklyn, this is the time to speak your mind and have your voice heard. On Sunday, July 10, from 12 to 5 pm, the Brooklyn Museum will host the Brooklyn Community Forum on Anti-Gentrification and Displacement. The program will explore the effects of gentrification and displacement on New Yorkers, specifically communities of color, as well as highlight successful strategies community members have used to protect and preserve their neighborhoods.




The forum will kick-off with talks followed by small-group discussions with the speakers and participating organizations. There will also be information tables and activities representing alternative grassroots voices. Featured speakers include Tom Angotti (Hunter College), Alicia Boyd (Movement to Protect the People, MTOPP), Cathy Dang (CAAV Organizing Asian Communities), Havanna Fisher (artist), Catherine Green (Arts East New York), Imani Henry (Brooklyn Anti-gentrification Network, B.A.N.), Rene Kathawala (Task Force for a Safe School), Rob Robinson (Take Back the Land), Elizabeth C. Yeampierre (UPROSE) and a variety of artists, activists, and community groups. There will also be a ceremony by Calpulli Tlet Papalotzin, a musical performance by Monsters of Brooklyn, and a special session on community building for teens.
