Movement To Protect The People

We are neighbors, Prospect Park lovers, gardeners, home owners, apartment dwellers, tenants, community workers, sun worshipers, block associations, neighborhood organizers, small business owners etc. We are the backbone of a community.

In 2014, we mobilized to protect Crown Heights South and Flatbush from the ravages of gentrification: accelerated out of context development, rising rents and property taxes, the displacement of local residents and the desecration of Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Prospect Park.  As a result, we, the residents of Community Board 9, made this the only community to stop a district wide rezoning.

We’re now in the midst of using our legal system to literally fight City Hall to protect this community against an out of context development project which also threatens the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. 

Join us in this fight!
