RESOURCE: CONEY ISLAND: An Activist Approach to Hurricane Help
November 20th, 2012Two weeks after Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc across the Northeast, and more than a week after power returned to Lower Manhattan, many public housing residents in Brooklyn’s Coney Island were still without electricity, heat and hot water.
