We joined and supported our neighbors in Rego Park
📣 Attention Rego Park Community! 📣
We stand on the precipice of change, and our voices must resound louder than ever before! The New York City Department of Social Services and the Department of Homeless Services have unveiled a plan to open a shelter for 100 single men right here in our beloved Rego Park, at the Wyndham Hotel site on 93rd Street.
But fear not, for we are not alone in this battle! Together, we will rise against this misguided decision and show the power of our united community.
Think about it: this shelter will be mere steps away from Lost Battalion Hall and PS 216, impacting our neighborhood in ways we cannot afford to ignore. The city may claim there's no other shelter in our district, but we know better. Just a mile away sits another shelter, proving their statements to be disingenuous at best.
This is our moment to stand tall, to stand strong, and to stand together. Let us show the world the unwavering spirit of Rego Park!
Join us as we rally against this ill-conceived plan, for together, our voices will echo through the streets, igniting change and preserving the fabric of our community.
Together, we are unstoppable. Together, we will prevail! 🌟 #RegoParkStrong
