Why Get involved.

East Brooklyn Congregations is made up of religious congregations, schools and homeowners and other voluntary associations working together to make Brooklyn more just and prosperous. EBC does not accept individual memberships. 

EBC membership requires participation—an organized team of top leaders in your institution to:

• Identify and train other leaders
• Identify and act on local issues
• Help develop and support EBC’s borough and city-wide agenda at public actions.

EBC member institutions are asked to complete an agreement that identifies EBC’s commitments and the institution’s. This is the basis of our accountability to each other. EBC promises to provide training and other assistance to member institutions, helping them to build a team of leaders, identify community issues for action, and implement an action plan. The member institutions promise to identify their leaders and participate in training and major EBC actions. For some of our successes, see Issues and Victories.
