Save the Village| LGBT Youth Say NO to Private Development

I’m a bit behind on this, largely because I’m still not in the “I have to post” mindset that I want to be in. I saw this via Black Amazon and Brownfemipower:

LGBT youth of color are pushed out of our homes, schools, and safe spaces every day as access to vital resources and opportunities decreases. FIERCE has been opposing the private development on Pier 40 [the pier next to Christopher Street] that will further displace LGBT youth, especially youth of color, from the West Village. It is simple: development can and should meet the needs of poor people, not corporations. Now is the time to take action to SAVE THE VILLAGE and put LGBT Youth Before Profit.

The Hudson River Park Trust will be voting on the future of Pier 40 ON JANUARY 31st. SIGN TODAY and PASS AROUND THE WORD!

Would you like to have a community center for LGBT youth on the pier?

THEN TAKE ACTION WITH US!!

Let the Hudson River Park Trust know that LGBT youth will not be silenced!!
