Last Days to Make End of Year Donation
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn is asking you to remember them when you make your year-end charitable contributions (link):
Atlantic Yards cannot move forward while these two suits are contested. The federal eminent domain suit argues that it is unconstitutional for New York State to seize private homes and businesses for Ratner's private benefit. The other pending suit, filed more than seven months ago in State Supreme Court, challenges the project's environmental review and approval.
A victory in either case would mean that we can move forward with appropriate development over the Vanderbilt rail yards, rather than Forest City Ratner's plan.
Regardless of the outcome in these two cases, the winner will face an appeal. If we must, we intend to take the eminent domain case all the way to the US Supreme Court. The legal struggle will continue for years, if the community is willing to fund it . These two suits -- organized by Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn -- are wholly funded by your contributions.
Your generous support is what makes this all possible:
If you believe that "Atlantic Yards" is wrong and Brooklyn is worth fighting for... if you want the community to stay in court... PLEASE DONATE GENEROUSLY.
