“Developer Arun Bhatia heard the community outcry against demolishing this centuries-old Federal-style structure, and is willing to talk about preservation. This latest news comes two weeks after Community Board 3 passed a resolution to explain community sentiment to the property owners.” Bowery Boogie

Millions Against Monsanto – NYC
Sunday, March 27th, 2011
Bringing awareness about genetically modified food, and what we need to do about them, to the press,public and politicians. Using the City Hall steps as a platform gives a nice background, but everyone needed to go through metal detectors and police scrutiny to get into the plaza, which I’m sure discouraged any passers-by from hearing what they had to say. No sound system was allowed, and extremely noisy road work was going on right at the gate. Many women spoke but I only got usable footage from the louder speakers, the men. I think the organizers were mainly aiming this event at the media, but I did not see a professional news crew there, only fellow bloggers and documentarians and maybe some print.
In the video: Mitchel Cohen, Green Party organizer in Brooklyn speaks on food used as a weapon of war, and Bob Klein of the Safe and Healthy School Food Coalition says “Don’t buy GMO.”
This was one of many events that took place yesterday on this issue. organicconsumers.org/monsanto
