In December 2008, Neighbors Allied for Good Growth (NAG) made a powerful call to the residents of North Brooklyn: to join together in a collective effort to improve the community. NAG, a grassroots organization deeply rooted in the neighborhoods of Greenpoint and Williamsburg, has long been a champion of environmental justice, sustainable development, and the protection of local residents’ rights.
Why Join NAG?
North Brooklyn has seen rapid changes over the years, with new developments springing up and the pressures of gentrification reshaping the landscape. Amidst these changes, the voices of longtime residents and the needs of the community often risk being overlooked. NAG has been at the forefront of ensuring that the growth of North Brooklyn is equitable, inclusive, and mindful of the environment.
By joining NAG, you become part of a movement that advocates for responsible urban planning, fights for the cleanup of toxic sites, and pushes for policies that prioritize affordable housing and green spaces. Whether you are passionate about protecting the environment, ensuring fair housing practices, or simply want to have a say in the future of your neighborhood, NAG provides a platform for your voice to be heard.
What Does Membership Involve?
Becoming a member of NAG is more than just signing up—it’s about becoming an active participant in the community. Members have the opportunity to engage in various activities, from attending public meetings and workshops to participating in advocacy campaigns and neighborhood cleanups. NAG also provides educational resources, helping residents stay informed about the key issues facing North Brooklyn.
As a member, you will be kept up to date on the latest initiatives and actions through newsletters and alerts. You’ll also have the chance to collaborate with other passionate community members, sharing ideas and strategies to make North Brooklyn a better place for everyone.
Making a Difference Together
NAG’s successes over the years have been driven by the collective efforts of its members. Whether it’s advocating for the cleanup of polluted sites like the Newtown Creek or pushing for the preservation of affordable housing amidst rapid development, NAG’s work is fueled by the energy and commitment of its community.
Joining NAG means standing alongside your neighbors to tackle the challenges facing North Brooklyn head-on. It’s about taking ownership of the future of your neighborhood and ensuring that it remains a vibrant, healthy, and welcoming place for all.
