FUREE Convention 2008 - Community vs. Developers

John Catsimatidis destroyed all the services around the Brooklyn projects. NYC is using a fake "egress" issue to shut down child care. And Public Housing is under attack.

Brooklyn's FUREE (Families United for Racial and Economic Equality) held their 5th annual convention followed by a march to protest the closing of the Albee Square Mall by yet another developer. Is it time to fight back? The folks at FUREE say Yes!

Featuring Ed Carter, Diana Smith, Beverly Corwin, Kevin Powell, Velmanette Montgomery, Hakeem Jeffries and the Marching Alliance. Not attending for the 5th year in a row was Ed Towns.
