About this Event

We will meet and hear from VOCAL-NY, who has been building power among low-income people directly affected by HIV/AIDS, the drug war, mass incarceration, and homelessness for over 25 years. They are neighbors to BSEC’s new home with a rich history in community organizing. We will learn about their traditions and approach to community building through the 3 pillars of organizing, activism, and peer development.

Jeremy Saunders has worked at VOCAL-NY since 2007, and became the Co-Executive Director in 2016. He began community organizing in 2001, working at ACORN, Community Voices Heard and Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition. Since 2021, Jeremy has helped to launch VOCAL-KY, VOCAL-TX and VOCAL-US in hopes of building a stronger national movement to end homelessness, the drug war, mass incarceration and the AIDS epidemic.

Music with DuPree.
