I loved this note today from my friend Jezra Kaye. In addition to being a longtime opponent of the Atlantic Yards Project she's a wonderful public speaking coach and speech writer.
Last week, while I was delivering a new speech in Belgium, my neighbors marched for the 5th straight year to save our community.
We have until December 31st to stop New York State from seizing private
property and spending hundreds of millions of our dollars on an arena
almost no one wants. And, in the latest twist, the prime recipient of
that largesse would be (you can't make this stuff up) Mikhail D.
Prokhorov–reportedly the richest man in Russian–who's trying to buy
the team that would play 6 blocks from where I live.
This has always been a David vs. Golaith fight, and we would never have
made it this far without your support. If you are able to DONATE for this fifth and final time, any amount is important and appreciated.
Thank you for helping us win!
Jezra
