There will be an emergency town hall meeting on public safety this Wednesday, August 18, in the wake of the spike in gun violence in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill these last few months. It will be held from 6-8pm at Emmanuel Baptist Church at 279 Lafayette Avenue.

The next 88th Precinct Community Council meeting will be in SEPTEMBER.
