Columbus Day Action October 9, 12 p.m.

Posted by John B. Kelly

Please come join us at Neighborhood Access Group's second annual Columbus Day Action -- Monday, October 9 -- against the exclusion of neighborhood residents from Huntington Avenue. We will be gathering at the intersection of Huntington and Mass Ave., in front of Utrecht Art Supplies and the "E" Green line Entrance (and across from Symphony Hall), from 12 P.M.-3 P.M.

Our day of education and fun along coincides with the Fenway Alliance's "Opening Our Doors!" celebration. As the Fenway Alliance -- the consortium of museums, theaters, and institutions along Huntington Avenue -- sponsors free events and admission for the public, we will be highlighting the catastrophic impact of the Alliance's pet project, the installation of dangerous brick sidewalks in the area.

We will have a "thermometer" showing how much the city has been fined for refusing to build an accessible sidewalk, a timeline of discrimination and exclusion , and individual storyboards of people's experiences with brick sidewalks.
