Walk Don’t Destroy Walk-a-thon

By Leave a Comment

A hot button issue during the race for the 33rd District City Council seat was the Atlantic Yards. People who never mentioned the proposal to me were now talking about it. I was thrilled that the issue was now receiving interest at a street level.

The Walk Don’t Destroy Walk-a-thon is a great opportunity to meet people from all over the city who care about the future of Brooklyn, and the blatant disregard of proper land use procedure. People who care about Eminent Domain abuse and respect for community. People like you.

Please walk with me on Saturday October 17th @ 1pm for a great cause. Click here for the walk route, then donate and add your name to our team.
