Update: We raised just over $10k. Thank you everyone who came out, and everyone who helped clean up.
September 7 marks one year since Save Tompkins Day, a day that was supposed to be a rally to save the T.F. from being converted into an Astro Turf field — but became a celebration of this irreplaceable piece of the city after the Parks Department called off the plan in the face of overwhelming community support for keeping the park as it always has been.
In celebration of that, Uncle Leroy’s Charity Sidewalk sale, which has been happening bi-weekly at McGolrick Park, is coming to Tompkins, and will be fundraising for BLM causes and at-risk local businesses. 1-6 P.M., Monday, September 7.
P.S. Monday Links will go live on Tuesday on account of the Labor Day holiday.
Hell yea! Long live Tompkins, I remember having all my homies sign the petition. <3
