EVENT EDITION
DEVELOP DON'T DESTROY BROOKLYN WALKATHON: TEAM OBAMA
My.BarackObama.com, Two for One/Walk for Obama and Develop--Don't Destroy Brooklyn (Community Service)
There is an opportunity to represent Obama as we join Develop—Don’t Destroy Brooklyn (DDDB) for its 3rd annual Walk Don’t Destory, this Sunday, 10/14th. Obama has spoken out on the misuse of eminent domain, so this is a great way to support our local community needs and walk as a group to let others know Obama’s support of their cause. DDDB host this walk in an effort to raise funds to support the legal battle to prevent the Atlantic Yards project. When you register as an individual the site informs that a donation is not required, but is suggested.
Please see event details at the link below. If you’re able to join us, please remember to wear your Obama attire. Sign-in is at Freddy’s Bar (485 Dean at the corner of 6th Avenue) from 12 – 1 p.m. (please look for the Obama crew), we’ll then walk from 1-3 p.m. and wrap it up with a celebration at the Soda Bar.
LID FORUM ON ATLANTIC YARDS
Mole's Progressive Democrat, Lambda Independent Democrats Holds a Forum on Atlantic Yards
From Lambda Independent Democrats:
LID and the Atlantic Yards - Oct. 22nd
LID will be taking a hard look at the Atlantic Yards proposal. Until now, the club has remained neutral, but the time has come to take a position. We have invited Councilmember Latitia James (confirmed) and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz (unconfirmed) to talk about the pros and cons of this project. Please join us on October 22nd, 7:30pm at Camp Friendship located at 339 8 Street, just below 6th Avenue.
NoLandGrab: LID's consideration of Bruce Ratner's controversial Atlantic Yards project comes better late than never. However, the timing is curious and makes one wonder if Borough President Marty Markowitz inadvertently lit a fire under local gay-and-lesbian-rights activists when he endorsed the famously anti-gay former City Councilman Noach Dear for Civil Court Judge.
