Victory is in Sight in 2009. Happy New Year!
Today is the last day of 2008...If you have not yet decided
whether you will make a tax-deductible contribution to fund
the legal fight against Atlantic Yards, today is your last opportunity to reduce
your 2008 taxes.
As a community, we've been fighting Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards plan for five
long years. Without your incredible support, this would not have been
possible.
We understand that times are now tough all around...That's why we need
your support now more than ever.
Because despite widespread community opposition, pending lawsuits, and the financial
crisis, Ratner still struggles to gain control of the Atlantic Yards project site
to build a frivolous billion-dollar arena that nobody--besides his pals--wants.
And even as Ratner halts work on
the project site due to financing problems and litigation, the "developer"
still is trying to push ahead.
Ratner can only be stopped if we keep the pressure on politically and
especially in court—which, as you know, is very expensive. The two
major lawsuits we've organized and funded with your constant help will be
working their way through the courts in 2009, and we need your
financial support to continue to sustain them.
At the risk of sounding repetitive--we simply cannot win the fight against
Ratner's disastrous plan unless you lend your financial support, yet again,
to the community's battles in court.
Please make a donation today.
Your contribution to Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Victory is in sight in 2009!
Together, as a community, we will win this fight.
Happy New Year to all!
