Celebrating Jacob's Birthday and Preserving Brooklyn

Four years ago Joy, Jacob and I participated in the first Walkathon supporting Develop, Don't Destroy Brooklyn's campaign to protect Brooklyn from one of the worst development projects I have ever heard of. Jacob was a newborn the first time we walked for Brooklyn. Now, for the fourth annual Walkathon, and for Jacob's fourth birthday I am once again forming a Progressive Democrat team. For my New York City readers, come join Joy, Jacob and as walkers. For my non-New York readers, please consider becoming a donor in honor of Jacob's birthday for this year's walkathon. There is also a party afterwards which will be free to all who have donated or willl be $20 at the door.
