IMPORTANT COURT HEARING OCTOBER 25TH--COME AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR A WOOD BOARDWALK!!!

The Coney Island boardwalk is in danger of becoming a road for parks department trucks, police cars and more to drive on. We gotta try to prevent what's left of our planet's surface from being paved over, even though the event, in and of itself, doesn't really seem like a big deal in the grand scheme of things. So to show your concern, please come to a hearing Thursday, October 25th, 9:00 AM, at Kings County Supreme Court in Downtown Brooklyn. Pack the court! It's a boardwalk, not a road!
