This came off a blog titled "Close the Bedford-Atlantic Homeless Shelter," which I don't support doing at all. I think that it a poor place for a central intake center, and I think that the facility certainly has serious issues. But I'm not for closing it.

Anyway, here is the info:
MARCH OVER B'KLYN BRIDGE FOLLOWED BY RALLY @ CITY HALL

Council Member Letitia James, along with Coalition for the Homeless, Crown Heights Revitalization Movement (CHRM), neighborhood residents & local community groups, advocates for the homeless and public officials participate in march over the Brooklyn Bridge, followed by a rally at City Hall to oppose DHS’ plan to move the men’s homeless intake center in Manhattan to the Bedford Atlantic Armory in Brooklyn

This march and rally, in support of homeless individuals and the community is scheduled to take place on Thursday, June 12th (right before the Stated Council meeting). The marchers will meet at the entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge at 12 PM, and enter at Adams and Tillary Streets. The group will then walk along the bridge footpath to City Hall Park. The rally is scheduled to begin at 1:00 PM on the Steps of City Hall.
