BaRN began its mission in 2013 when the members all attended a conference led by Barbara Warren of Physicians for Social Responsibility.
At the conference, Dr. Eric Klinenberg delivered a presentation about a Chicago heat emergency occurring in 2005. The incident resulted in 700 deaths, but Klinenberg found that communities who knew their neighbors experienced lower amounts of death.
