We Are All Brooklyn Fellowship Against Hate Graduation
On June 6, 2024, the third cohort of We Are All Brooklyn Fellowship Against Hate celebrated its graduation. Throughout the course of six months, fellows explored ways to combat hate, discrimination and bias by participating in workshops, hearing from community organizers, and visiting educational sites in New York and Washington DC.
These 16 graduates represent a diverse cross-section of Brooklyn, consisting of nonprofit leaders, clergy, educators, health care providers, artists, and entrepreneurs. We look forward to seeing the fellows continue to enact radical and positive change as they work to make Brooklyn a more vibrant and equitable place.
