Look at the list of the local Brooklyn Pols, some of whom are at term limit and running for new political office, who are coming out for the hopefully big rally on Sunday about the future of the Atlantic Yards project.

NYS Senator Velmanette Montgomery, NYS Assemblywoman Joan Millman, NYS
Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries, NYC Councilwoman Tish James, NYC
Councilman Bill Deblasio, NYC Councilman David Yassky, NYC Councilman
Tony Avella.

This Sunday’s rally is important and it’s VITAL that a lot of people show up to show the Governor how Brooklyn feels about Atlantic Yards.

These politicians and Develop Don’t Destroy are calling for a freeze on all Atlantic Yards activities. The three
sponsoring organizations represent thousands of New Yorkers that have
had differing perspectives on issues raised by the Atlantic Yards
proposal, but all agree that the current state of affairs is
intolerable.

The entire project is a big question mark right now. As DDDB has always said, Atlantic Yards is not a feasible
project—for a number of reasons.

Recent developments in the financial markets and statements by
the developer have born this out.

The project is a big unknown. The only thing currently
with a time-line is the arena. Everything else is uncertain.
