    OUR SUBWAY AD TO BE UNVEILED TOMORROW 2/2/15
    Our subway ad, pictured here, will be unveiled tomorrow in the NYC subway system in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Bronx. It will be on platforms - not within trains. We will not learn the exact location for at least a week. If you should see it, please take a picture and e-mail it to coalition@banhdc.org. Many thanks to Terry Russo for this poignant, thoughtful design.
