Background
Since 2018, Equality for Flatbush (E4F) has received several reports of gender-based violence against Black women and non-binary people occurring at The Zombie House, a white-owned gentrifying bar in Flatbush that culturally appropriates Caribbean culture. To date, over 6 survivors of various genders have reported being either assaulted by Zombie House owner, Josh Kaplan, or that he was complicit in covering up incidents of violence that occurred at his bar. Survivors have also reported that the NYPD has refused to pursue their cases.
At the urging of one of the survivors, E4F organized a community speak out in front of the bar during the "March against White Supremacy and Gentrification in Flatbush" on 11/3/2018. On September 21, 2019, another Black woman reported being assaulted at Zombie House. As a result of this most recent assault, women in the Flatbush community have not only called for a boycott of Zombie House but for it to be permanently shut down. Zombie House is located at 734 Flatbush Avenue.
