The BIG WALK to Raise Funds for the Legal Full Court Press Against Atlantic Yards
IT’S NOW OR NEVER TO SUPPORT THE FIGHT AGAINST ATLANTIC YARDS
From Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn‘s website:
Victory is in sight against the Atlantic Yards project. The next five months are absolutely crucial to bring all of our forces together for the big push of opposition against Ratner’s floundering mega-development plan.For this year’s Walkathon, which depends upon your active participation and sponsor solicitation, we will be taking a grand tour touching on some of the neighborhoods that would be impacted by the project if it is built. And we’ll start from Brooklyn Borough Hall, the people’s Hall.
If you have not registered for the Walkathon on Saturday, October 17th, you can do so by clicking here. You can also form a team to compete against others to see who can raise the most contributions to the legal fight.
After you register, PLEASE send out your emails through the automated tool to friends, family and co-workers asking them to sponsor you with as generous a donation as possible. If they can give now, you may never ask them again!
And if you have already registered, remember to invite your friends, family and co-workers to sponsor you — just click the “Email Friends” in the left hand column on the Walk Don’t Destroy site.
Here are the details…
The walk will feature hundreds of walkers and start at Borough Hall and finish with a community party in Fort Greene’s Habana Outpost.
The walk route extends about 2.3 miles (our longest Walkathon yet, but still quite manageable).
