The Black and Brown Equity Coalition (BaBEC) is the only independent organization on Fire Island led by queer people of color. Since 2020, we've built year-round programming centered on healing justice, Black liberation, and the sustained presence of queer and trans people of color on Fire Island — including Fire Island's first Juneteenth celebration and the Mx. Juneteenth Fire Island Pageant. Our work has been recognized by the Governor of New York and featured in The New York Times, HuffPost, and W Magazine.
Your support funds the infrastructure behind the programming: board development, organizational operations, and the year-round work that makes our summer possible.
