Welcome to the Brooklyn Food Coalition!

A grassroots organization needs a grassroots website. This means YOU create the content here.

How do I create content?

• Click the "Join" button on the upper right-hand corner.
• Write a blog post.
• Connect with other people on the network and start a conversation.
• Add a food/farming/social justice event to our calendar.
• Join a neighborhood group or a working committee and start a conversation via the discussion boards.

But that makes me nervous. I'm confused. Show me how this all works.

Check out this video which shows you how to use a Ning network. Keep in mind that our network does not look exactly the same as the one below.

This is still too complicated for me. Now what?

If you don't want to join the network just read what everyone else is contributing.

Do I have to join the network?

No you do not! This is just one way to participate in the Brooklyn Food Coalition. If you are uncomfortable signing up with the social network you can just come by and visit. We will continue posting helpful information that anyone can access, whether or not they join.

I don't have Internet access at home but I still want to join the network. How can I still join?

This is an excellent opportunity to gain some web skills. New York City libraries provide free Internet access. All you have to do is sign up for a session. Click here to find a library near you.
