This Thursday, April 22nd, celebrate Earth Day by gathering at noon at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's Eastern Parkway entrance to show support for the BBG's Fight for Sunlight Campaign

Come One, Come All United to save Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and Jackie Robinson Playground from any proposal to ignore the 1991 Community Plan which was put in place to prevent building heights that would destroy the Gardens.

Remember: Wear a flower in your hair and/or lapel!!

Right now buildings on the eastern side of the BBG are capped at 70 feet to protect the plant life in the gardens, but a developer is asking the city to waive those height limits so he can build a massive 39-story complex at 960 Franklin Ave. The proposed development will cast the BBG and nearby Jackie Robinson Playground into shadows for hours every day. The demonstration on Thursday is being called by Movement to Protect the People (https://mtopp.org). Come out and make your voices heard!
