Wed, July 29: SAY NO TO ATLANTIC YARDS - PROTEST Against Ratner’s Rip-off
Wednesday. July 29. 2pm and 6pm.
Start Gathering at 1pm. Press Conference at 1:30pm.
Outside Klitgord Auditorium of NYC Technical College
285 Jay Street, Near Tillary [Map]
(A/C to Jay St./Borough Hall. 2/3 to Borough Hall, M/R to Lawrence St./MetorTech)
The Empire State Development Corporation (the state agency "overseeing"
the Atlantic Yards proposal) is holding a public
hearing on the Atlantic Yards project on Wednesday, July 29th.
Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn urges you to join
a protest against Ratner’s destructive, secretive project outside the hearing
and then testify at the hearing.
(The hearing is scheduled from 2-5 and 6-8.)
Bring Protest Signs. Speak your mind about the
project.
This is it: there will be no more public hearings on Atlantic Yards or protests
like this one.
This is the community’s chance to tell ESDC and Ratner:
We Don’t Want Atlantic Yards.
We Want Development That Works for the Community,
Not at the Expense of the Community.
Atlantic Yards Must Be Scrapped!
Join DDDB, other community groups, residents, clergy,
union members, and elected officials for the 2pm protest.
Please start gathering
at 1pm, press conference at 1:30pm and protest at 2pm.
(There will be a second protest and press conference
starting at 5:30 and continuing past 6pm for all of those who cannot take a day
off for the earlier protest.)
After the protest DDDB asks the public to sign in and testify against the project.
(If you are unable to come for the afternoon protest and hearing, DDDB urges
you to come for the late afternoon/evening hearing at 6pm. We'll be inside
and outside all day—Look for us!)
Bring Protest Signs. Speak your mind about the
project.
Atlantic Yards is a rip-off for taxpayers,
A rip-off for straphangers,
A rip-off for those in need of affordable housing,
A rip-off for those in need of employment.
A rip-off for Brooklynites and a rip off for New Yorkers
It is a boondoggle for Bruce Ratner...
No More Bailouts for Billionaires
