Families United for Racial and Economic Equality (FUREE) , a community organization lead by and comprised primarily of low-income women of color, are premiering their film this Friday: Some Place Like Home : The Fight Against Gentrification in Downtown Brooklyn
From Jack:
FUREE has been rallying the community in a fight against the rampant development that’s going down in Downtown Brooklyn and the surrounding area. While developers, big business, and politicians alike claim they are only trying to improve the community, the development is being conducted with little care or concern for the residents and small business owners who are already there. Some Place Like Home documents the struggle of FUREE, the neighborhoods’ residents, and small businesses against the forces that are trying to push and bulldoze them out.
