Kick off the summer with Brooklyn for Barack and Families for Obama at Prospect Park on Saturday, May 26th. Join us as we show our support for Senator Obama on this very special Memorial Day weekend. We will fire up the BBQ over at the Picnic House South in Prospect Park starting at noon.

Donations are welcome and encouraged. You can make your contribution online, or at the event. If you prefer to make your contribution by bringing food for the event, please e-mail Jacki.

We look forward to seeing you and thank you for your ongoing support. Here’s just a taste of some of the excitement from past meetings:

Thanks to everyone who made it out to Art for Obama on April 19th. A great time was had by all. The videos below feature some of the event attendees and their reasons for supporting Senator Obama in his campaign for President.

If you’re interested in any of the pieces of art, you can see more and get in touch with the artists (who are all supporters of Barack) via artforobama.com – and big thanks to Brooklyn Artists Gym for having us, they’re a great organization and are an asset to the borough.

On March 31st over 20 individuals and groups across Brooklyn opened their homes (or favorite bars) to their neighbors, welcoming both supporters and the curious to learn more about Senator Barack Obama. Above you’ll find just a sampling of what it was like on the street that day.

“I support Obama 100% because he is the best man—the best person, man or woman—for the president of the United States. I don’t like the direction the country is taking, and I think he can alleviate that.”

Let us know your thoughts and suggestions, join us, and keep watching BrooklynForBarack.org for updates on the campaign in the borough.
