Rush Killing of East River Park continues 24/7 over weekend. NYPD refuses to enforce Court-ordered stay. 2:00 p.m. Rally Corlears Hook entrance to East River Park by Amphitheater (Cherry and Jackson are the nearest streets) with environmental activist Rev. Billy and the Stop Shopping choir Crews spent Saturday night demolishing East River Park and continued Sunday morning. NYPD has held back demonstrators. They continue to defy the rule of law, and instead show a document from Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration via the Dept. of Design and Construction saying the demolition can continue. A contempt of court motion has been sent to Court of Appeals in Albany, which will see it Monday morning. With NYPD's assuring this illegal demolition can continue, half the park will be destroyed by tomorrow. Contractors have already cut all trees from the dance circle just south of the Houston entrance. They have razed the soccer field and basketball courts south of the Williamsburg Bridge. The workers are at the amphitheater, and it looks like the 82-year old London planes and oaks, which can live hundreds of years and were above the floodline during Hurricane Sandy, are next. Please help our legal team continue--court costs alone are tough for our nonprofit in an un-rich neighborhood. See donation link below. Thank you. This wonderful park we are trying to preserve is forever Indigenous land of Lenapehoking. We hope to honor and respect the land of this park by advocating its use as a resilient flood-absorbing sponge working with the river-side ecosystem, rather than in defiance of it. We oppose the ESCR project that continues assault on the land and recognize it adds a layer of injury to the ongoing systemic oppression of the original stewards of this land, the Lenapeyok People.
