Why is Justin Brannan Treating this Activist Group So Poorly?
Visitors showed up to Councilman Brannan’s office because they want to save the East River Park. All are professional and masked, but were not welcomed into the office.
Brannan’s staffer speaks to them as if they are unwelcome a Jehovah’s Witnesses at her door on a Saturday morning. This is not the way anyone should be spoken to at a City Council Representatives office.
#SomethingIsntRightHere
Yes, the whole report is redacted like this page! This is a failure of government to be accountable to NY’ers.
The activists are at Brannan’s office because he is the chair of the Committee on Resiliency and Waterfronts. They are there because a portion of the East River Park is being closed and they can’t get any answers. The report the received (above) has been blacked out. Brannan receives an extra stipend for heading the committee so he should be able to answer their questions OR AT LEAST take the time to listen to their needs.
On social media, Brannan tells them to call his office for a meeting, but they aren’t able to get one. Now he just ignores their tweets. Several weeks ago, the activists had a protest at the park, Brannan was invited, but was a no-show.
Another activist, who Brannan has given the run-around to for several months, wrote an Op-Ed about her experience trying to contact him and to save this park. (See here) Up until yesterday, May 19th, Brannan still had not set up a meeting with her.
When you watch this video you will see that Brannan’s staffer does not welcome these visitors in the office. All the visitors are masked.
Brannan Zap from Woman at the Reel on Vimeo.
The called the video: THE BRANNAN ZAP. That’s sad that activists can’t get help!
This happened last week, Brannan still had not called the women and given them an appointment. On social media, they asked other people to help them.
Notice Brannan’s staffer does not go and tell Brannan that he has visitors. The protocol at this office isn’t correct.
If Justin Brannan doesn’t want to speak with people, he’s in the wrong position!
We can understand that Brannan might be busy writing a press release and can’t meet with them at that moment. But the staffer refused to set up an appointment for the women to speak with Brannan!
Brannan’s staffer even goes on to tell the activists that the city probably won’t change the outcome on the park! So rude! They have a right to get information and help so they can fight for their park.
Even stranger, this staffer used to be an activist. Did she ever imagine her job would be to block people from seeing a councilman? There’s obviously something wrong if activists who are trying to save a park can’t even speak with an arrogant politician.

St. Francis College Is Moving Off Remsen Street Next Year
I was sad to hear that St. Francis College was moving out of Brooklyn Heights to a new location in Brooklyn, which doesn’t seem as dynamic.
St Francis is moving to 181 Livingston Street (over Macys – see here). This building was set to be a Whittle School, a private PreK-12 school. When Covid-19 hit, Chris Whittle got a PPP loan for $2 Million dollars for the school, but now must decided against opening the Brooklyn campus. (See here)

It’s like St. Francis it is giving up the college’s history of success on Remsen Street. What history? My whole family graduated from St. Francis – all within four years!
Remsen Street was the most perfect place for a college. It had the perfect mix of parks, shopping, restaurants and bars around the school. When you got off the train and turned the corner to walk towards the school, the freshest gust of wind always hit your face! You *just* knew it was going to be a great day!
Over the years, a lot has changed at St. Francis. When I attended the school, it cost $2500 – $3200 a semester. So it was under $6000 a year to take up to 36 credits. I had two small scholarships which cut the cost a little. This was affordable to families with multiple children in school. Now the web shows that St. Francis cost $47,498 a year ($26,266 on average after financial aid). How did this school become so expensive?
St. Francis College has many great Division 1 Sports Teams. The new plans don’t have a pool or gym. That’s just insane that would be overlooked or outsourced! The current location on Remsen Street has a great gym and a pool too. Many international students, especially those from Croatia, register at St. Francis because of their great water polo team.
The real magic of St. Francis College was in the professors. They knew their material, loved it and were fully engaged! People are surprised when I tell them that I had professors that went to dinner with us (Dr. Garcia and Dr. Hughes) or work up early on Saturday morning to walk around and teach us the history of this city! (Dr. Sparr and Dr. Hughes) We even had professors who served us spaghetti dinner when we were inducted into the honor society. (Brother Vincent Healy and Dr. Bonnano) Such inspiring people who loved their subject areas and their students!
My memories of the perfect college experience will always be on Remsen Street! And since graduating from St. Francis, I’ve always owned a terrier.
