A Walkathon Fundraiser for Develop—Don't Destroy Brooklyn and the Community's fight against Ratner's Skyscraper/Arena Project. The WALKATHON is an opportunity to put your feet in motion to help fund the DDDb legal campaign against Bruce Ratner's megadevelopment proposal and eminent domain abuse. Help DDDb reach its monetary goals and raise awareness to unite our communities instead of dividing and destroying them. Join us in walking a path within our historic community and tracing the proposed project site. I have set up a team (the Progressive Cabal) to participate in this event. To sign up to walk or to sponsor one of my team members (or the team in general, like I did) please visit my Team Page. | ||

"The State planners have hijacked our park" said Judi Francis, a 25 year resident of Brooklyn Heights and President of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Defense Fund.

"Our goal is to help the citizens of Brooklyn secure a real park. The plan that the State has developed, with luxury housing located inside the park, does not serve the needs of Brooklyn, and it is a plan we reject. The community has a plan that has many outstanding features and is the plan we will discuss on November 29th." Refreshments and baby sitting available. Start: 15:00

Christopher will address issues of employment discrimination, police conduct (including search and seizure), federalism, the power of the executive branch and the separation of church and state. Afterwards, Tony will outline many of the opportunities that PFAW and the coalition of grassroots and progressive organizations, including NDM, have come up with to engage in this epic and winnable battle.
