activist groups in park slope

Subject: Clarify Your Slash?

Would that be libertarian socialists who are ALSO anarcho-syndicalists or do you mean you would accept EITHER libertarian socialists OR anarcho-syndicalists? This could be crucial in determining which size elevator the quorum will assemble in.

Oh, and if you could indicate a preference between the Judean People's Front and the People's Front of Judea, that would be helpful as well.

LOL!

Sloper, I don't know the answer to your question, but maybe you could find out on Meetup.com whether there's anything like you're looking for in Park Slope.

Kidding aside, there are several community based groups dealing with zoning, over development, contextual development and housing issues. PM me if you want more info.

And, there's always your Community Board, depending on your block, either CB7 or CB6.

Does anyone remember the Mondaca (spelling? Library people? They used to meet in the Mondaca Librry on 9th Street and 6th Ave.

Subject: energy still here...?

Wouldn't this kind of energy and these beliefs still be welcome?? and perhaps necessary, especially with the creepy crawl of homogenization?

Is Brooklynian only the 'new' Park Slope or can it/does it encompass elements of the 'old?'

thanks.

I say this because perhaps we're all resigned without realizing it to the gentrification and loss of this energy which started things, as you say, like the Co-Op. Maybe there's a large wake-up call that needs to be started. I lived in the West Village before it became like it is today but way past when it had an artsy/bohemian spirit, and Park Slope could easily become the Marc Jacobs/trendy hotel area that that now is. I lived there in the early 90's to 2000 and I will tell you that all sense of community was gone by then. And I'm sure it existed at some point, as it does now in Park Slope but can easily go away.

My first reaction on reading your post was to suggest you consult the NYPD . . . it's just now coming out how much they were monitoring supposed radicals in the lead up to the RNC . . .
The NYTimes has been all over the story, lo these three years later . . .


indymedia might be a better place to look than Brooklynian
