Brownstoners of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Inc.Send email to: The Brownstoners of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Inc.
The Brownstoners of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Inc. is a not-for-profit, volunteer service organization that is dedicated to the continued preservation, revitalization and enhancement of the community. The Brownstoners was organized in 1978, when young people and families were leaving Bedford-Stuyvesant in alarming numbers, shaken by relentless negative media publicity about the neighborhood, poor and unresponsive public services, and redlining by banks. To stop the exodus, Brownstoners encouraged disillusioned residents and those who had already left to “Come on Home to Bed-Stuy” through a number of means including its annual house tour. Since then, its tradition of “taking it to the streets” has become a time honored and much emulated strategy used for tax lien outreach and voter registration drives.
