Support Roger That in court this Thursday!

Kings County Civil Court
141 Livingston Street Room 603
10AM Calendar Call

We have been fighting for well over two years now, but it is very possible that this Thursday's trial could result in an eviction for the garden. We need to show up en masse so that the court will see the impact of their decision on the community.

Thursday, February 11th, 10AM
Kings County Civil Court
141 Livingston Street, Room 603

See us in the NYT today? Got a minute to help save NYC from illegal and harmful real estate interests? Then send an email to these local officials and tell them to protect Roger That Garden using eminent domain!
