Sponsor My Walk for Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn

This afternoon I'll be walking and taking pictures on the Walk Don't Destroy Brooklyn fundraiser. Atlantic Yards Camera Club will be there and I am helping them find last minute sponsors. Click here to go to the sponsorship page. Anything you can donate will help.

"People in Brooklyn may want the Nets, but NO ONE wants a destructive, secret, taxpayer-subsidized sweetheart deal forced on the community. We want a development plan that maximizes its benefits for Brooklyn, rather than for a development company. We believe that Brooklyn and New York City deserve much better than what Forest City Ratner has proposed, which repeats the urban renewal mistakes of the past which we must not repeat.

DEVELOP DON'T DESTROY BROOKLYN leads a broad-based community coalition fighting for development that unites our communities instead of dividing and destroying them." See more from DDDB here
