This from Atlantic Yards Report:

The Walk Don’t Destroy 2 walkathon
fundraiser for Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn (DDDB) yesterday raised
more than $100,000 toward legal battles over the Atlantic Yards plan.
The event at Prospect Park generated nearly double the amount raised at
the first walkathon last November. Organizers said that some 1100 people contributed, with more than 300 participants.

That
money should (presumably) help build a legal fund sufficient to get
fights against eminent domain and perhaps other issues off the ground.
But lawyers are expensive, so fundraising undoubtedly will continue.

I
missed the walkathon, so when I arrived at the corner of 9th Street and
Eighth Avenue–a block from the park bandshell–many people in yellow
DDDB t-shirts were making their way down the block to catch trains,
walk home, or go to a restaurant. So I missed the person who dressed up
as a Brooklyn bride–in a wedding dress–a commentary on Frank Gehry’s
planned "Miss Brooklyn" tower. A crew from the Castle Coalition, which takes a hard-line view against eminent domain abuse, showed up with t-shirts saying "Blight me."
