Bed-Stuy Block Party a Huge Success!

To all the performers, tablers, community members, and dedicated
volunteers who helped make the Bed Stuy Block Party a huge success:

Thank you so much! Yesterday we celebrated positivity and community in our
neighborhood with a stellar line-up of over a dozen MC's, singers, and
poets. There was a great turn out, with people dancing and having a great
time until way past dark. Kids enjoyed the face painting and everyone
enjoyed the free BBQ. People got a chance to get involved not only with
123 Community Space, but also with the organizations who had tables at the
event: Brooklyn for Peace, The ISIS (Innocence Stolen Innocent Still)
Foundation, the NYCLU, A New World in Our Hearts, Stop the Violence, and
the Brooklyn Public Library. Also, a special thanks goes out to the Black
Diamond$ Social Club, who provided a ton of free food in addition to some
great performers. A few artists did not get to perform due to scheduling
issues, and we apologize and hope to book them in the future. There is
already talk of doing another block party in September.

So thanks again to everyone, enjoy the summer, and please check out 123!
We are offering orientations every Sunday at 4:30, and there are many
opportunities to get involved.
