    • TIME: 2pm (1pm for Brass band members. See below)
      PLACE: Pacific Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt Ave, Brooklyn
      COST: FREE
    • SUMMARY: “Whether you support or oppose Atlantic Yards, the immediate reality of the project won’t be the promised jobs and housing, but three enormous parking lots. The State is planning to permit Forest City Ratner to demolish two city blocks, including historic buildings like the Ward Bakery, to create “temporary” parking for over 1400 cars that could blight the area for decades. Please join us in sending a clear message to Eliot Spitzer and Mike Bloomberg that New Yorkers deserve better.”

      [Ed note: THE AWESOME PART]:
      **CALLING 1400 Brass Instrument Players!!!! - ALL LEVELS**

      “We want to simulate the traffic jams anticipated in brooklyn if the atlantic yards project and basketball arena are built in our neighborhoods IMAGINE 1400 brass players converging at the same time at the appointed moment honking and squeaking and squealing from all directions. This BRASS INSTRUMENT SIMULATED TRAFFIC JAM will gather at 1pm near the corner of Carlton and Pacific to go over the details and logistics and send brass players of all abilitities and desires to key locations so they can converge on the rally at just the right moment for maximum impact”
