Our Approach

BRJE is a direct response to the urgent need to eliminate the barriers that are preventing everyone in the Brookline community from reaching their full potential. We have nearly 10 years of experience working with and alongside Brookline community organizations and institutions.

Now, as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, BRJE is preparing to launch a new strategy that aims to end racism in Brookline in our lifetime while also creating a playbook and best practices that communities across the country can follow through a powerful three-pronged approach:

01

Increase Access

Increase Access to essential resources like food, housing, childcare, early education, and more by reducing costs and eliminating restrictive barriers.

02

Ensure Inclusion

Ensure Inclusion in local decision- and policy-making by removing roadblocks to civic participation and enforcing civil rights protections.

03

Advance Opportunity

Advance Opportunity so that the environmental, health, and educational benefits of Brookline are maximized for POC while creating new pathways to economic mobility.

Drawing on our roots as a community-led coalition, our work is driven by coalition-building events, community education, original research, policy development, and outcomes measurement that leverages the core strengths of Brookline to build an engine for change.
