Inducting City Point into "Developer 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 "Corporate Tax Dodgers Hall of Shame"!

As the largest development in Downtown Brooklyn, City Point has failed to bring good jobs or other community benefits to the area, despite sitting on public land and getting millions in public dollars. Expect mock skits, chants and other fun surprises!

To RSVP or for more info, contact Lucas at lucas(at)furee(dot)org / 718-852-2960 x. 306.


************************** ****
BACKGROUND INFO:

CITY POINT: A bad deal for Brooklyn!
- Low-wage jobs
- Taxpayer $$ abuse
- Unaffordable housing
- Displaced small businesses

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE CITY POINT DEVELOPERS COMMIT TO:
- Use union construction labor with fair wages & benefits!
- Give workers and communities a bang for our buck for the $20 million in bailout funds the developer received!
- Build more real affordable housing for working families, not for people earning six figures!
- Hire local residents for upcoming retail jobs!
- Provide opportunities for local small businesses & those displaced from the Albee Sq. Mall!
