HELP PRESERVE HISTORIC BLACK WOMEN’S AID GROUP

WITH UNDERGROUND RAILROAD ROOTS!

One of the oldest Black women’s aid groups in the United States urgently needs your help.

The United Order of the Tents is a secret society that has worked quietly for more than 150 years to care for Black women and children.

But in recent years, its historic Eastern headquarters in Bed-Stuy has come under threat due to bad contractors, financial hardship, and opportunistic property developers.

Now, the Brooklyn Tents needs YOUR help to ensure its legacy can be protected for future generations.
