Neighbors,

As we continue to figure out how we move forward in unprecedented times, with so many uncertainties ahead of us, Brooklyn Community Board #7 is seeking your help in resolving problems and eliminating barriers to recovery and success for our entire community. One area we are choosing to focus on is the impact the shutdown and economic crisis has had on our local businesses and their employees. We are hopeful that we can reach out to all of the businesses in our district so we can get a greater understanding of their issues and needs as we advocate for better policies for our neighborhood’s recovery.

This is where you can help. We are certainly reaching out through business organizations, social media and email, but we do not have the ability to reach everyone on our own. So we are asking you to help with outreach to your local businesses, freelance and gig workers, people who have their own businesses, any business that you can think of, to ask them to complete a brief survey to help us better understand their issues and concerns.

Please share the following link with every business you can in our district:

English - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/N2LK9KY

Spanish - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8QZ6RGH

Currently, it is available in English and Spanish, but we hope to have it in Chinese by next week. Additionally, paper surveys will also be available next week through the office, but our preference is email. If you or a business owner have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].

Cesar Zuniga, Chairperson - CB7
