One Last Reminder: Rally and March, June 7, 5pm

anonymous

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 Administration 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. We will focus on Ratner's destructive plans in Prospect Heights, as an egregious example of this.

A MOVEMENT IS AFOOT IN THIS CITY TO BEAT BACK THE CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF OUR COMMUNITIES.
THIS RALLY IS FOR ALL OF US, THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK.

Please make every effort to join your fellow New Yorkers at this demonstration and please copy and paste this announcement to email to your list of friends, colleagues and anyone else!
