New Britain Racial Justice Coalition
Our Purpose
New Britain Racial Justice Coalition (NBRJC) is a community organization based in New Britain, CT. NBRJC is dedicated to building political power for poor and working-class people in the greater New Britain Area. NBRJC was founded by young, working-class people of color in July 2020. After the tragic murder of George Floyd and the reignited Black Lives Matter movement that followed, young people in the area recognize the need to build local and regional power in pursuit of racial and economic justice. NBRJC uses grassroots organizing, civic & cultural education and mutual aid to empower, organize and mobilize to promote the organization's mission. We focus on social issues around housing, education, incarceration and policing.
