“Prominent Brooklynites, in general, have angril “Prominent Brooklynites, in general, have angrily panned Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion — a ruling that is expected to lead to abortion bans in half the states.

Both supporters and opponents of legalized abortion predicted that the fight will continue in state capitols, in Washington and at the ballot box.”

“The Supreme Court has ended constitutional prot “The Supreme Court has ended constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place nearly 50 years in a decision by its conservative majority to overturn Roe v. Wade. Friday’s outcome is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states.

The decision, unthinkable just a few years ago, was the culmination of decades of efforts by abortion opponents, made possible by an emboldened right side of the court that has been fortified by three appointees of former President Donald Trump.”

“The sun shined brightly as Cadman Park Conserva “The sun shined brightly as Cadman Park Conservancy hosted its Juneteenth celebration on Sunday.

The event featured poetry readings by Jacqueline Johnson, Deirdre Van Walters and Cassandra Cato-Louis. Johnson and Van Walters recited original poetry. Cato-Louis recited a portion of Frederick Douglass’ riveting 1852 speech, “What, to the Slave, is the Fourth of July?”’

“Brooklyn Women’s Exchange (BWE) has signed a lease for the store-front space at 137 Montague Street. After an extensive search, BWE was connected to the Calfa brothers, owners of Lassen and Hennigs and the space at 137 Montague, by Erika Belsey Worth of the BHA. While discussing possible retailers for the space with Erika, Tom said “What I really want is the Brooklyn Women’s Exchange.” 

The extensive renovations of the space should be complete by early September 2022 for the Opening Celebration of this new location of BWE.”
