David McReynolds, pacifist, socialist, east village militant calls us to remember the life of Norma Becker a leading NY trouble maker at PS 234, Saturday Nov. 3. I will see you there. "If you were one of those opposing the Civil Defense drills in New York City in the early sixties . . . If you were one of those who risked their lives in the South during the Civil Rights struggle . . . If you were one of those who joined the Fifth Ave. Peace Parade Committee to begin mass mobilization against the Vietnam War . . . If you were one of those who rallied at the United Nations in support of the Special Sessions on Disarmament in 1978 and 1982 (in 1982 there were a million of you, so you were probably there) . . . If you were one of those fighting nuclear power after the disaster of Three Mile Island . . . If you were on of those who finally questioned the rigid US policy in the Middle East which always favored Israel and ignored the suffering of the Palestinians . . . If you were one of those who helped organize for economic justice . . . | ||

Three Bands will play to raise funds for DDDB’s legal fight against Bruce Ratner's plan for the “Atlantic Yards†development project. Grammy-winning band klezmer band the Klezmatics will play a special concert on November 8 at the Brooklyn Lyceum to benefit Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn (DDDB). Two other area musical groups, Kakande and the Demolition String Band, will also perform. The benefit concert will raise funds towards DDDB’s state lawsuit challenging the Atlantic Yards project's environmental review and approval and the federal lawsuit challenging the state's abuse of eminent domain. Both of these lawsuits were organized by DDDB, and are funded entirely by individual donations from the community and fundraising events throughout the year. Both lawsuits are pending; a victory in either suit would mean that developer Forest City Ratner's Atlantic Yards project would not move forward. Concert Details are as follows: The Klezmatics, Kakande, and Demolition String Band | ||
