WHEN: Thursday, November 17, 6:00-8:00pm
WHERE: Bronx School for Law, Government and Justice gymnasium
244 East 163rd Street
Bronx, NY

Save Our Parks is a Bronx community group fighting the New York Yankees' plans to build a new Yankee Stadium next to the current one -- and in the process destroying the surrounding communities' two green spaces, Macombs Dam Park and Mullaly Park. In addition, the new stadium would soak taxpayers for $573 million dollars.
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn and Fans For Fair Play are working with Save Our Parks in a coalition linked by wealthy sports team owners bent on uprooting communities for new stadium projects. The coalition urges you to hop the train to the Bronx and support SOP as they represent their angry neighborhoods against the Yankees/Bronx Borough President/Parks Dept./EDC juggernaut.
