BRONX RESIDENTS MARCH ON NYCHA FOR $1.4M CAPITAL FUNDED SECURITY CAMERAS

Here is another rally that took place yesterday that needs mentioning. Unfortunately, the e-mail was sent on a Sunday and I did not open the e-mail in time to post prior to the rally. Hopefully the post will encourage more community organizations to organize and fight for safety and quality of life issues when appropriate. As mentioned below, the rally centered on needed security cameras. As per the press release below, NYS State Senator Ruth Hassell secured 1.4 million for the project, but work on installing the cameras has not commenced. For any BoogieDowner with more information wishing to elaborate, please do send an e-mail to the following e-mail address;
