PLEASE JOIN US FOR A VIGIL THIS MONDAY NIGHT

Dear Neighbors:

Cord wishes to remind you to take this opportunity to stand up and be counted as one who
abhors violence and intolerance.

As you may know, a member of our community was brutally attacked in Carroll Gardens last Tuesday by a group of men shouting anti-gay epithets.

We hope you can join some of us at a vigil this Monday night, March 15, at 8:30 PM on Luquer Street and Hamilton Avenue and support efforts to make our community safe for all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation.

CORD HISTORY:

With the "Protect Our Homes" petition, CORD was formed in May, 2007. This petition arose as an overwhelmingly negative response to the coming of the over-sized 360 Smith Street Development at the corner of Smith Street and Second Place (Aka Oliver House; aka 131 Second Place). This petition, which had well over three thousand signatures, led to a new zoning text amendment in summer of 2008.

To: Our Elected Officials, Community Leaders, The MTA:
(MAY, 2007)

We the undersigned Carroll Gardens homeowners and residents, are appalled by the "as of right" ruling which allows owners and developers to erect buildings in our neighborhood with no regard to the impact they will present to our quality of life and the value of our homes........
