October 18th: Walk Don’t Destroy

It’s not too late to participate in the Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn Walkathon this Saturday night. You can walk or you can sponsor a walker.

Here’s the info from Develop Don’t Destroy Website.  

Due to the brutal economy, widespread community opposition, pending lawsuits and
Ratner’s own mismanagement, the developer
cannot possibly build the project he has promised these last five years
. Still,
he continues his devastation of Prospect Heights and swallowing hundreds of millions
of public dollars in the midst of this recession. And he does this with New York
State and City’s continued irresponsible support. That is amoral, and it’s gotta
stop. If you want to walk, you can register here.

5:15 pm — 6 pm: Sign In

  Visit our tables at Bob Law’s Seafood Cafe (Near Vanderbilt and St. Marks) to pick up your registration (or to register if you haven’t already done so).
