The First 88

You’ve seen what we can do.
The Cash Mobs.
The food drives.
The expos.
The time you found your plumber.
Your braider.
The days you volunteered with us to honor educators.
The times someone needed help for their family and the group jumped in.
The support you needed because BRN connected you.

None of that happened with big funding. It happened because people showed up.

The First 88 is for the people who want to keep that momentum steady as we grow the work even further.

What do you get?

No random gimmicks.
No long newsletters.
No pressure.
You get one clean monthly drop with what we moved, what’s coming, and what really happening with your money.

Your $8, combined with eighty-seven others, will help shape the next chapter for BlaQue.

We’ll keep doing the work you already know, but now we’re ready to expand into the places that need us most. That means stronger support for families, clear pathways for youth to lead and organize, deeper backing for Black businesses, and bigger projects that build more power for our Black community in Queens.

It’s $8. Are you down?
