Subject: March and Rally Against Bloomberg's Sweetheart Deals

On Tuesday, June 7th there will be a march from Brooklyn Borough Hall to a Rally at City Hall

The March and Rally are Against Bloomberg's Sweetheart Development Deals Around the City,
Against Bruce Ratner's Proposed 17 High Rises and Arena in Brooklyn
And FOR Community First! Development

Start Gathering at Brooklyn Borough Hall at 4:30 (start time 5pm) or be at the Southern Tip of City Hall Park by 6:15
Borough Hall: 209 Joralemon Street (2/3/4/5/A/C/F/M/R to Borough Hall & Court Street)
City Hall (2/3 to Park Place, 4/5/N/R/W to City Hall)

The rally and march is tackling the citywide epidemic of backroom sweetheart development deals, led by the Bloomberg Adminstration which ignore the the needs, hopes and desires of communities throughout the city. Instead these sweetheart deals are trampling on and destroying communities, spending massive amounts of public dollars, and primarily benefitting developers.
