After Party With Delphine Blue & The Atomic Grind Show*
This Saturday, October 18th, Come out and Walk to Raise Funds for the Legal Fight Against Ratner's Faltering Atlantic Yards Plan.
Due to the brutal economy, widespread community opposition, pending lawsuits and Ratner's own mismanagement, the developer cannot possibly build the project he has promised these last five years. Still, he continues his devastation of Prospect Heights and swallowing hundreds of millions of public dollars in the midst of this recession. And he does this with New York State's support. That is amoral, and it's gotta stop.
Thats why we need YOU to participate in the Walkathon
And after the walk, come to the party at the Brooklyn Lyceum, Featuring:
*The global sounds of legendary New York City club and radio DJ Delphine Blue
A live set from The Atomic Grind Show "mixing rock, jazz, country and other musical styles with carny attitude" (TimeOutNY).
All walkers and donors get in free. For those not walking or sponsoring walkers, entrance is a $20 donation.
