Develop Don’t Destroy is plannin a protest in front of the Brooklyn Museum Thursday evening as partygoers enter the Brooklyn Ball, where Bruce Ratner is being honored with the museum’s highest honor, the Augustus Graham aware for his generous support of various activities of the Brooklyn Museum. From the DDDB press release:

But the Museum’s $1,000-a-plate Annual “Brooklyn Ball”, in celebrating its honoree Bruce Ratner, conveniently ignores Ratner’s divisive and abusive 4-year old campaign to promote his Atlantic Yards development proposal, and the disastrous effect it would have on Brooklyn’s neighborhoods–the very same neighborhoods which the Museum calls home. While the Museum has stated that their award to Ratner does not suggest support for the Atlantic Yards proposal, by celebrating Bruce Ratner, the Museum explicitly ignores the community’s sentiment about the developer and his proposal, gives tacit support and acceptance of Ratner’s public actions in pursuit of the project, and implicitly supports it.

A Public Demonstration protesting the museum’s decision to honor Bruce Ratner will begin at 6:30 p.m. in front of the Brooklyn Museum.
