ACTION ALERT: Induct City Point into the "Developers Hall of Shame"!

Join FUREE, our friends at ALIGN and members of the building trades unions as we induct the controversial City Point mega-project into the "Developer Hall of Shame"!

When: Thursday, January 31st, 12pm-1pm
Where: By City Hall (Manhattan).
