<div>Dear <a href="https://www.equalityforflatbush.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Equality for Flatbush</a> family and friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On 8/30, we were turned down for yet another significant grant, leaving E4F without any secured funding for the rest of 2024. We will have grant renewals for 2025, but our cash flow for the fall and winter of 2024 is completely uncertain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Like so many community grassroots organizations, if we don't raise the funds for 2024, E4F will have to shut down.  </strong>While we have drastically scaled back on providing emergency housing and funds, we still average $18K a month to pay for our office, elders' rents &amp; mortgages, our payroll, and bills. Our goal is to raise $80K from now to January 30th.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the same, Black and Brown New Yorkers  are facing an increase in  economic hardships, evictions, deed fraud, police violence and budget cuts .  <strong>E4F is the only NYC group rapidly responding with financial aid for people experiencing emergency housing &amp; rent crises. E4F is also the only Alternative to Calling 911 Hotline in NYC that rapidly responds to community crises to prevent police murders.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>So we urgently are turning to our community for help.</strong>
</div>
<div>Please <strong>#InvestInE4F to #KeepE4F</strong> on the frontlines in the fight against displacement, gentrification, and police violence in Brooklyn, NY.
</div>

<div><strong>Our Mission:</strong>
</div>
<div>Equality for Flatbush (E4F) is a Black Lives Matter organization that has fought gentrification, displacement, and police violence in Brooklyn, NY since 2013. We have only two goals: to end NYPD murders and to stop the displacement of low-to-middle-income people from Brooklyn, NY. Led by Black and Brown lifelong and longtime New Yorkers, E4F believes in the abolition of the police, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and prisons.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>E4F is a member-led grassroots organization made up of largely Black Caribbean women migrants and descendants of migrants of color. We have a holistic, trauma-informed approach to organizing that is steeped in the principles of: 1. demonstrating “revolutionary love,” 2. practicing kindness, 3. fighting relentlessly, and 4. “having each other’s backs.” We organize our communities for social justice and change through street outreach, social media campaigns, as well as political and direct action.
