Mosnerrate
Urgent: Development Protest Tonight
Hiram Monserrate, the Daily News’ least favorite Council Member this week, is holding a press event this evening before the Mets game. From Queens Crap:
Tonight - Wednesday, August 20th at 5pm sharp - Councilman Hiram Monserrate will lead a press conference and protest against eminent domain at 36th Avenue and 126th Street. A pre-game truck rally will follow. Please come out to support the businesses and landowners of Willets Point.
This protest is intended to create traffic and get in the way of Mets fans. If you can get out there and let the protesters hear your voice, that would be great. Crashing this press conference the same way Monserrate crashed the one in Washington Square would be very appropriate. Even better, if you get a chance to get through on WFAN and bring this up, Mets fans need to know that these protesters intend to be in the way tonight in order to grab some attention.
And some info I should have posted earlier today, from Queens and More:
If you want to call WFAN Sports Radio to express your pro-development feelings you can reach the “On Air Hotline to Talk To Hosts” at 718-937-6666.
If you’re sitting in traffic on the way to the game, thank Hiram Monserrate. Since he believes this project will happen anyway, it seems like he’s doing all this to get his name out there and have his voice heard. Is that a good reason to miss the first inning?
Welcome to Develop Willets Point
