Support Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn With An End-of-Year Tax Deductible Contribution
There is one day left to make your end-of-year donations and receive
a tax break for 2009...
You can donate right now, right here: www.dddb.net/donate
If you have not yet decided whether you will make an end-of-year tax-deductible
contribution to fund the legal fight against Atlantic Yards, please consider the
following:
As a community, we've been fighting Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards plan for six
long years. Without your incredible support, this would not have been
possible.
We understand that times are now tough all around. These tough times have affected
our war chest, too.
That's why we need your
support now more than ever.
Ratner has certainly made some last minute gains in 2009, including last
week's master closing. But those closing documents went into escrow, as did
the arena bond proceeds—because Ratner and the ESDC know that they have
not gotten past numerous legal hurdles. Also, Ratner does not own the land he
needs for the project, has not started construction (other than his ugly
new signage at the corner of Flatbush and Atlantic) and still faces many ongoing
legal challenges, with more to come.
The project has been exposed as a corrupt boondoggle that would be terribly destructive
to the Brooklyn neighborhoods we love and a huge burden to New York taxpayers.
Therefore DDDB will do everything possible to stop the project from moving forward,
including legally challenging the seizure of properties by eminent domain, and
the likely legal challenge to the arena bond sale that occurred on December 15th.
These pending and new suits are very expensive and rely on your ongoing, generous
contributions.
We're counting on you.
Thank you.
Please make
a tax-deductible donation today.
And remember, every contribution helps, no matter how small.
Together, as a community, we will win this fight.
