Daily News | More than 15,000 petition signatures opposing the Sixers arena are delivered to City Hall
“Hands off Chinatown!”
It’s the same message community activists and advocates have been delivering since the proposed arena was first announced last summer. Chinatown is a neighborhood that has served as a cultural hub, safe space and economic center for immigrant communities. “Debbie is wearing a beautiful flowing dress that is 4% rayon and 96% opposed to the arena and billion dollar development,” the emcee said as one of the models strutted and spun in front of the chuckling crowd.
“Chinatown means a great deal to my family. My mother immigrated from Taiwan in the ‘70s. They protested the Vine Street Expressway back in the ‘70s,” said Will Gross, a small-business owner and Democratic Committee member. “To us, does represent an existential threat to the neighborhood and the city as a whole.”
