BREAKING : 1/27/2020 Urgent Update: The LPC will not Landmark 227 Duffield Street ! After 5-months of campaigning, The Friends of Abolitionist Place has confirmed that the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) intends to rule against landmarking 227 Duffield Street/Abolitionist Place, a stop on the Underground Railroad located in downtown Brooklyn, NY. The LPC’s negative decision will allow the Department of Buildings (DOB) to grant a demolition permit to the developers. This means the demolition could happen within the next 2 weeks unless WE stop it! Join the 227 Duffield Emergency Organizing Team Contact Equality for Flatbush (E4F) today to get regular updates involved in the struggle to #Save227Duffield at 646 820-6039 (call or text) or email [email protected] There are rallies, social media and publicity campaigns that will be announced in the coming days. We are asking everyone to please spread the word to your social media and email networks. Join the #AbolitionistChallenge. The #AbolitionistChallenge aims to raise both money and awareness to stop this demolition. Help us raise $5,000,000 to buy back the property from the developer and send a strong message that we won’t just let them take our history.

Dressed as 1800s Abolitionists , Friends of Abolitionist Place activists did a visibility action on the @todayshow ! After 5-months of campaigning, The Friends of Abolitionist Place has confirmed that the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) intends to rule against landmark protection for 227 Duffield Street, a stop on the Underground Railroad and the last Abolitionist home left on Abolitionist Place in Downtown Brooklyn, NY. The LPC’s negative decision will allow the Department of Buildings (DOB) to grant a demolition permit to the developers who want to build luxury rentals at 227 Duffield. This means the demolition could happen anytime in February 2020 during Black History Month , unless WE stop it!
