Rally for Smart Growth in Brooklyn

When
July 16, 2006   2:00 pm   

Sunday, July 16, 2 pm 
GRAND ARMY PLAZA
Rally Starts at 2 pm
Gather at 1:30 pm

On Sunday, July 16th, at 2 p.m., please join thousands of your friends and neighbors at Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza to rally in favor of appropriate, inclusive, and innovative development with truly affordable housing and sustainable jobs, and against Forest City Ratner's "Atlantic Yards" scheme.  Stand up and speak out against government support of eminent domain abuse at taxpayer expense!

This is our last chance before New York State issues the draft Environmental Impact Statement for the "Atlantic Yards" to demonstrate to elected officials, state authorities and Forest City Ratner that our community has grave concerns about what would be the largest single-sourced private development in Brooklyn's history.

Please help make this rally a success. Spread the word to your friends and neighbors.

Celebrate the strength and unity of our communities with performances by:

-- Family Music Bard DAN ZANES

-- BEAT BOXER ENTERTAINMENT

-- REVEREND BILLY and the STOP SHOPPING GOSPEL CHOIR

-- Brooklyn's own Acrobats, Jugglers and Stiltwalkers from LAVA and CIRCUS AMOK

and SURPRISE MUSICAL GUESTS

Rally MCs: Robin Cloud and Roger Paz
