Another World is a community space and movement center where neighbors come together to build grassroots power. Our mission is to organize lasting institutions of collective care and radical democracy; through these institutions, we can change our city. We envision a Brooklyn of abundance, where children play on the street, neighbors greet each other by name, public services meet public needs, and everyone can afford to live well. Through popular education, political and cultural programming, and strong webs of community groups, Another World nurtures intergenerational social movements, neighborhood institutions, relationships, organizers, and love.

The center is open Wednesdays - Sundays from 11am - 8pm
You can just come in to hang out, to cowork, to plot, and to meet your neighbors. See our calendar for events.

- a lending library of radical books

The library at Another World is a free lending library for the community featuring books for all ages about collective care, action, and liberation. Check out our catalog here.


If you would like to support our library by buying us books, we have a wishlist that supports Café Con Libros, a bookstore in the neighborhood.


We accept books for donation, but are seeking to receive specifically books on radical histories, Black and indigenous liberation, abolitionist and feminist theory, anarchist and communist politics, and other related topics. Please drop donations off with a staffer at the center.

Another World was founded in 2025 by members of the Crown Heights CARE Collective, a Crown Heights hyperlocal abolitionist group. We maintain the space through a volunteer-staff group comprised of CARE Collective members and comrades from other aligned organizing spaces and organizations; the staffers are collectively responsible for the maintenance and political governance of the space. We are funded by both private foundation grants and community support, and maintain our complete independence. Our politics are firmly rooted in abolitionist communism, with an emphasis on Black liberation and solidarity with all oppressed peoples worldwide.

Another World is seeking to be fully community-supported by June 2027. Please help us meet our goal and maintain a free space for the people by becoming a sustaining member of the space, or making a one-time donation.
