 The Brooklyn Women's Chorus is a community chorus that was formed in October 1997 by Park Slope resident and musician, Bev Grant. The chorus has a repertoire ranging from South African freedom songs to socially relevant songs by contemporary American songwriters like Garth Brooks, Jackson Browne, Pat Humphries and Bev Grant, herself. Topics range from freedom and justice, to peace, resistance, and women's labor history.
There are no auditions necessary to join the Brooklyn Women's Chorus, only a strong desire to sing. It is Bev's contention that everyone can sing, and the proof is in the rousing performances by the chorus.
The Brooklyn Women's Chorus communicates with a joyful voice, sure to uplift anyone who hears them. |

 Grassroots Leadership's Campaign to End Immigrant Family Detention The T. Don Hutto family detention center in Taylor, Texas, incarcerates children as young as infants. Mothers and fathers are imprisoned with their children.
Many families at Hutto came to the United States fleeing persecution. Asylum-seekers fleeing civil conflict in Eastern Africa, Iraqi Christians fleeing religious persecution, and Central Americans seeking refuge from drug, gang and domestic violence. And it’s all for-profit! Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) makes money on every parent and child locked up in Hutto. More "family prisons" are planned. The Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced plans to build three new family detention centers, making permanent the system of family detention made infamous at Hutto.
