Hurricane Advice
When we had the tropical storm this Summer, we saw the response from city agencies was terrible.
Councilman Justin Brannan is the chair of NYC Council’s Committee on Resiliency and Waterfronts. NYC Council should get experts to handle important things, as a tropical storm shouldn’t have been able to knock out parts of the city for that long!
Did you need another flyers with their pictures on it?

September 19, 2020Remembrance for Ruth Bader Ginsberg 9/20
There will be a remembrance for Brooklynite, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, on Sunday, September 19th at 1:00 PM outside the Brooklyn Municipal Building at 210 Joralemon Street.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg lived in Flatbush on East 9th Street. (See here) She attended James Madison High School.
For college, Ginsburg went to Cornell University. Then she attended Harvard Law School, where she was one of nine women in a class of 500.
When she began teaching, she was one of fewer than 20 women law professors in the US. Through the 1970s, Ginsburg’s advocacy extended the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause to women.

She fought against gender discrimination. Ginsburg won five out of six gender cases that she argued before the Supreme Court.
Former president, Barack Obama, recognized Ginsburg as a warrior for gender equality.
Governor Cuomo said he is selecting a team to select artist to create a statue of Ginsburg to be placed in Brooklyn.
Lingua Franca is on Jane Street in Manhattan. People left flowers in front of the store under the picture of Ruth.

September 18, 2020Man Hurt in Bensonhurst. Suspect Detained
Around 7:00 pm tonight, a man was hurt near 2167 – 74th Street in Bensonhurst. The Citizen announced that the man was shot (in the leg) – see picture above. Some people are saying the man was hurt in the backyard but he wasn’t shot.
People in the area said that there were a lot of police cars – at least six. Why would six police cars go to a scene if a man was hurt in the backyard. Something doesn’t add up here.
There are a lot of videos of police and emergency vehicles in the area. See here
Hopefully, the man is okay – there are no update about his status, but it does say that a suspect was detained.
———————————————————–
A little over an hour later, there was a serious accident down the block – see here
