Closing the advocacy gap in marginalized communities through intergenerational civics training, tech and grassroots mobilization

    The Flossy Organization is a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to closing the advocacy gap in marginalized communities. We work, with evidence-based interventions, to inspire and equip individuals with the tools they need to become effective advocates for change.

  • What

    We provide education, training, and support to build an intergenerational movement of leaders. Our programs focus on addressing systemic issues, promoting social justice, and fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect in the communities we serve.

  • Where

    Based in Canarsie, Brooklyn, The Flossy Organization serves the local community and beyond, connecting to individuals who are passionate about making a difference and creating positive change in their neighborhoods.

  • Why

    We believe the power of collective action is unstoppable and the potential of every person to effect change. By addressing issues such as bias, discrimination, and hate violence, we aim to create a more just and equitable society for all.

  • How

    Utilizing intergenerational civics training and issue-based campaigns, we’re building a grassroots movement of informed advocates who have the skills they need to change their communities from within.

  • Vision

    Our vision is a world where every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances, is empowered to actively participate in shaping their community. We envision a future where justice, equity, and inclusivity are the norm, and where communities come together to create lasting, positive change for all.
