DANCE PARTY RALLY VS. GENTRIFICATION
==================================================
Tuesday May 13th -- Rally to PROTECT MCMILLAN PARK Reject the City's Plans!
The City has been colluding with private interests to privatize and pave over a twenty-five acre park located in Northeast DC. It's a nationally historic open air site with an amazing underground antique waterworks that still works. The proposal is to tear out the water filtration cells and replace our park with a mini-Bethesda consisting of a pittance of "affordable" housing.
Where: DC Zoning Commission Offices, 441 4th Street NW, WDC 20001 Judiciary Square Metro (redline); H street buses
When: Next Tuesday, May 13, 2014, Music starts at 5:15pm; The People's Mic begins at 5:30pm; Defend the District Dance Party starts at 6:00pm; Public testimony inside the Zoning Commission starting 6:30pm until the end of the hearing!

The possible giveaway of the historic McMillan-Olmstead Park may be one of the biggest heists to go down in DC history, that is if we don't get more good people like you involved, as its all of our public property and its huge, 25 acres of open air grass parkland!
