Milestones: Harvir Kaur and the
Central Brooklyn Food Coop
|
|
|
|
Propelled by the dedication and efforts of a Central Brooklyn collective of residents, the Central Brooklyn Food Co-op (CBFC) has gone from idea to nascent institution over the past 18 months. And throughout, Harvir Kaur, BMC's Food Sovereignty Organizer, worked behind the scenes to organize this work.
|
|
This month, Harvir is leaving her part-time position at BMC to serve as full-time Community Manager at Brand Workers, an organization bringing local food production workers together for good jobs and a sustainable food system throughout New York City. Join us in sending her off with love and best wishes.
As an organizer committed to the self-sustainability of the Co-op, Harvir has left the Co-op leadership empowered and in a position to flourish.
|
|
|
|
CBFC formed a steering committee that will manage the food co-op organizing process until the CBFC elects an official board of directors and hires a general manager. Please email any questions, concerns, or thoughts to cbfc@brooklynmovementcenter.org.

On February 23rd, board members Braeden Lentz and Janel Quarless led BMC in organizing an intimate gathering of donors who support BMC at the $250 or more level. Big shouts to Braeden, Janel and the entire BMC board for raising more than $5,000, and to BMC’s new member, Sheena Brown, for opening up her home and wallet for the event.
