Anacostia National Park at Poplar Point is on the chopping block. A soccer stadium giveaway of this parkland threatens to pave over all but 70 acres of this historic, publicly owned, riverfront park.

I spent the morning reviewing the plans for the stadium and the damage is worse than I first realized. Please email your council member today to demand they stop this giveaway of our riverfront. Tell them that public parkland belongs to the neighborhood.

Reaching this milestone proves that people refuse to let them pave over our riverfront. Now we need to turn this energy into action by emailing your city council representative today. Post the link to your Facebook feed right now so we keep the pressure on.

Keep our green space. We dont need another stadium taking up the waterfront when the community needs a place to go outside.

This is totally wrong. Leave the park alone. It belongs to the city and the families here.

STOP PAVING OVER EVERYTHING. Poplar point is for the people not for some rich sports team owner to make a buck.
