Rally in Gravesend Against the Homeless Shelter

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, Assemblyman Bill Colton and City Council representatives Ari Kagan and Susan Zhuang rallied in the rain against the homeless shelter at 2501 – 86th Street. (More info)

Malliotakis lives in Staten Island and thought it was important enough to come to Brooklyn in the rain and rally.

Nicole Malliotakis shared on social media: “Joined the communities of Bath Beach & Gravesend #Brooklyn to FIGHT the City’s newly proposed migrant shelter. Stop cutting services from citizens to fund these shelters that have become nothing more than a business destroying the quality of life in NYC neighborhoods.”

District 43’s City Councilwoman shared that the community wants jobs – not homeless shelters.

Senator Iwen Chu did not attend the rally.

Chris McCreight Didn’t Stand Up At a Community Meeting – “He Wasn’t Recognized”

Councilman Brannan was a no-show at Community Board 10’s Meeting.

He said he sent Chris McCreight to speak for him. But McCreight was either too meek or he read the room and decided not to get up and speak.

Senator Andrew Gounardes also attended the meeting, but did not speak. Either politician could have stood up and added a point, Community Board 10 is very welcoming to the politicians. Anyone who signed up could have spoke at the meeting, but they allowed politicians to go first.

Protest in Bay Ridge (Known But Not Announced)

Yesterday barricades were dropped off on 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue too. No one announced a protest or closed streets for today.

Why isn’t Senator Andrew Gounardes sharing this information with the community instead of playing on Twitter talking about George Santos? (See here)

People gathered on Bay Ridge Avenue for the Pro-Palestine rally protest and headed down to 19th Avenue. There are police officers on all over the area.

They have the right to protest and these protests in our community have been predominantly peaceful.

Bay Ridge Cinemas shared these photos of the the diverse group of people protesting:

Residents have the right to know what is happening in their community.

Everyone should have been made aware what streets were being used for the protest, so they know where there is going to be traffic problems and they can plan ahead. It shouldn’t be that just the politician’s staff and family know what’s going on.

On Saturday night, the police were still on 5th Avenue after the protest. Many people were worried that there was a robbery on 5th Avenue so they avoided 5th Avenue. Meaning: businesses on 5th had less customers.

If information was shared, people wouldn’t have been worried.
