BMC held down Central Brooklyn at the May 9th Let Us Breathe Forum in which hundreds of community activists, grant makers, and donors shared analyses and strategies from the front lines of the growing police accountability and Black Lives Matters movements.

BMC board member Monifa Bandele and BMC executive director Mark Winston Griffith were highlighted speakers, as were BMC allies Djibril Toure, Lumumba Bandele and Marlon Peterson. BMC was also awarded a grant from the Let Us Breathe Fund to support its Black-led organizing work.
To cap off the month, Mark made the New York Observer’s “Very Short List†of NYC change makers and was quoted in the Wall Street Journal.

Third Rail Podcast
On this month's Third Rail we explore gentrification and street harassment through the experiences of queer and brown people. Tasha Amezcua, SOS Program Coordinator at the Audre Lorde Project, (photo right) and BMC member Debayani Kar (photo left) join us to discuss being Brown in a gentrifying neighborhood and being harassed as a queer person of color in Central Brooklyn. To hear this conversation when it drops on June 5th, subscribe in iTunes or head to BrooklynDeep.org-- where you can also hear previous Third Rail shows.
