NYC FOCUS: A Few Events

Third Annual Walk, Don't Destroy Brooklyn Walkathon
Fundraiser to support Develop, Don't Destroy's legal battles to preserve Central Brooklyn

Walk Don't Destroy 3 will be an opportunity to help fund the DDDB legal campaign at a fun, interactive and exciting event. Join your friends and neighbors to help stop eminent domain abuse, massive over-development and the destruction of the Brooklyn we know and love.

The court battle against the 'Atlantic Yards' hinges on our ability to fund our legal team. While we have a very strong legal case and legal team, we can't win without your help in raising money and awareness.

The walk is about 2 miles, and starts at noon at the Freddys Bar. The event will include hundreds of walkers a closing community party!

NOON – 1 pm: SIGN IN. Visit our tables at Freddy's Bar (on the intersection of 6th Avenue and Carlton Ave) to pick up your registration (or to register if you haven't already done so).

1 pm – 3:00 pm: Join the Grand Marshall to walk to Grand Army Plaza, around and back to the Soda Bar.

3:00-5:00 pm: Celebration event at the Soda Bar!

Lambda Independent Democrats Holds a Forum on Atlantic Yards

I got this from Lambda Independent Democrats:

LID and the Atlantic Yards - Oct. 22nd

LID will be taking a hard look at the Atlantic Yards proposal. Until now, the club has remained neutral, but the time has come to take a position. We have invited Councilmember Latitia James (confirmed) and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz (unconfirmed) to talk about the pros and cons of this project. Please join us on October 22nd, 7:30pm at Camp Friendship located at 339 8 Street, just below 6th Avenue.


End the War Now—National Day of Action
Friday, 28 September 2007

Join thousands from all over New York and northern New Jersey in a massive march and rally to end the war!

Assemble at 12 noon
Broadway, north of Union Square (permit pending)
March at 1:00pm

On October 27th, people from all walks of life will gather in 11 sites around the country for massive regional demonstrations against the war. These nationally coordinated events are being built and mobilized by groups across the country. The people of this country want the war to end, but Washington has failed to take decisive action. With each passing month, nearly 100 servi- cepeople and countless more Iraqis are killed, some 12 billion of our tax dollars are spent, and the death and destruction continue. Our communities—from New Orleans to Minneapolis—are neglected and suffer the consequences. From Vermont to California, from Florida to Wisconsin, the people have spoken: We want this war to end, and we want it to end now!
