BKShowsLove Emergency Fund to Feed Brooklynites

August 2, 2020 UPDATE on the #BrooklynShowsLove Mutual Aid Project Delivery Delays 


Hello to our fellow Brooklynites,


Equality for Flatbush (E4F) humbly apologizes for the current delay for community members getting their much needed deliveries from our #BrooklynShowsLove Mutual Aid Project.  Right now everyone should expect that there will be a 3-week delay in orders. We truly hope it will be much shorter . Our goal is to have this backlog completed and to expand our food distribution by mid to late August. 


The fastest way to get through this backlog and to expand our work is to have at least 5-10 more volunteers by the end of August, putting food and household supply kits together. We are urgently asking people who have space in their homes and are able to give 10-15 hours a week including weekends,  to sign up to make community kits. To sign up to volunteer with BKSL , please fill out the form at  bit.ly/bkshowslovevolunteer or call (929) [phone redacted]‬.  To donate to the BKSL Emergency GoFundMe page: http://bit.ly/BKshowsLoveGOFUND


Equality for Flatbush is a small but mighty Black-led police accountability and anti-gentrification organization. We have never done food distribution work before until March 2020. We are learning as we go. We are committed to feed our fellow Brooklynites until May of 2021. We are in this for the long run. We deeply appreciate everyone’s patience with us.


If you are a Brooklynite that needs free grocery/supply deliveries, medication pick-up/drops, tenant/rent-strike or police accountability organizing support, and other forms of material aid please can text, call, or email us at:

Equality for Flatbush (E4F) and The Brooklyn Anti-gentrification Network (BAN) have decided that we will longer close our #BrooklynShowsLove grocery delivery list and will instead continually maintain waiting lists in the hope that we will be able to take new orders at a faster rate. 

If you have called Equality for Flatbush between April and May, please know that you do not need to call again as you are already in our system.  Here is what will happen:

1. A BKSL volunteer will be in touch shortly to put you on an upcoming waiting list as well as help you find other food resources in your neighborhood from our extensive resource list in the meantime.  

2. We will let you know when to expect a call to take your grocery and supply order which will be delivered within 7 days.    We also highly encourage community members to frequently check our 29 paged resource list, for updates and new resources : bit.ly/BKShowsLoveResourceList

We want to apologize profusely for any delays you may have experienced in getting your deliveries. We are Black/ People of Color-led organizations that have been fighting displacement and police violence in Brooklyn for the last 7 years.  This is our first time doing food distribution, so we are learning as we go. We thank you and truly appreciate your patience and understanding.  

 Equality for Flatbush and Brooklyn Anti-gentrification Network have committed to feeding Brooklynites providing other forms of material aid until May 2021, and maybe even longer depending on the circumstances. As of May 2020, we have doubled our food distribution work, and have committed to providing two large bags of non-perishable food and COVID-19 household supplies to more than 400 households.  

 Thank you
