Independent Women’s Network Launches Brooklyn, New York Chapter
Brooklyn, NY — Independent Women’s Network (IWN), the national grassroots membership arm of Independent Women’s Voice and Independent Women’s Forum, announces a new chapter launch in Brooklyn, New York. This chapter joins 32 chapters around the country and an online community of more than 44,000 members.
Irina Edelstein, the IWN chapter leader in New York, has already taken bold steps to make a difference in her community. She bravely spoke out about a crisis in her Brooklyn neighborhood as a result of the illegal migrant influx. Edelstein discussed the all-male migrant shelter near her home and her children’s school, which caused her to fear for the safety of her children. IW Features, the new storytelling platform for Independent Women’s Forum, highlighted Irina’s story and the negative impacts of the unprecedented border crisis.
“IWN has been a tremendous source of encouragement and has empowered me to speak out on behalf of our school,” said Irina Edelstein, IWN Brooklyn Chapter Leader. “As a conservative mom, I understand the challenges of raising children in New York City’s fast-paced liberal culture. It’s clear that local government needs to do more to ensure our children’s safety, and my fight for transparency and protection is just beginning. As an IWN chapter leader, I am dedicated to providing information and support to fellow moms who believe that children deserve to thrive in a safe and nurturing environment, both physically and mentally.”
IWN was created to build a supportive community for women and to give them the tools they need to make a positive difference in their neighborhoods and our country.
“Our movement of like-minded women across the country continues to make positive, high-impact on a local level,” said Christy Narsi, national chapter director for IWN. “In just a few short months Irina has already engaged her local schools, restaurants, and small businesses to promote the safety and dignity of Brooklyn families who love their city. We are thrilled to support such an inspiring and passionate leader!”
An engaging and growing community of independently-minded women work together to advance shared principles through chapter gatherings and the IWN online movement. Membership to IWN opens access to message boards, curated news, smart content, a resource center, exclusive events, and an action center.
“Irina Edelstein is exactly the type of leader we look for at IWN. Irina had the courage to speak up and fight for her community,” said IWN Director Julie Gunlock. “She’s an inspiration to so many women and we’re thrilled she’s launching this new chapter in Brooklyn!”
