This past year, I’ve had the great privilege of both meeting and representing the legendary women from the United Order of Tents @tentsed3. The United Order of Tents of Brooklyn are one of the oldest Black women’s aid groups in the United States and they urgently need your help. The United Order of the Tents is a secret society that has worked quietly for more than 150 years to care for Black women and children. But in recent years, its historic Eastern headquarters in Bed-Stuy has come under threat due to bad contractors, financial hardship, and opportunistic property developers. The United Order of Tents is one of the country's first Black women’s benevolent societies, initially founded in 1848 to provide aid to enslaved people via the Underground Railroad. For more than 75 years, the women of the Eastern District Tents have been quietly fulfilling their mission to feed the hungry, tend to the sick, bury the dead, help raise children and care for the elderly here in Brooklyn. Now, the Brooklyn Tents needs YOUR help to ensure its legacy can be protected for future generations. Donate link is in bio, and share if you can :)
