Coalition Formed To Protect South Brooklyn

oo

Quite a number of new groups have formed in this area of Brooklyn in the last few months which leads one to deduce that more and more local residents are concerned and want to have a say in their neighborhood. The latest is the South Brooklyn Neighborhood Alliance, a coalition of several area neighborhood groups. Since strength is in numbers, local politicians better listen up. Below is a statement from the group:
