Bring your picnic blanket and your own refreshments for a night of political comedy, presented by Justin Krebs for City Council and Negin Farsad

With just days until early voting and 12 days until the primary, let's Laugh Out The Vote.

Four weeks ago, City Council candidate Justin Krebs began a quest to bike every block in Brooklyn’s 39th District, roughly 120 miles of NYC streets. Now, he has less than 10 miles to go.  The project allows Krebs to see firsthand where our City’s bike infrastructure works and where it must be improved and is a continuation of his lifelong enthusiasm for biking and looking at how to create and share open space in our city. 

100 Artists for Justin Includes Actors, Producers, Musicians, Directors, Creatives, Comedians and Other Arts Professionals in Brooklyn and Across New York City

Krebs, co-founder of The Tank theater, demands a comprehensive plan to support artists and help theaters and other arts venues recover including commercial rent control, guaranteed inclusive spaces, a dedicated fund for low interest loans for small arts and cultural institutions, and more.

Following Mayor de Blasio’s announcement that schools will have funding returned that they otherwise would have lost through the school budget clawbacks, Justin Krebs (Secretary, District 15 President's Council; Exec. Board Member, PS39 PA) issued the following statement:

“This is a huge victory for students, administrators, parents, and teachers. This is exactly what parents and educators across D15 and D13 were rallying for this Friday, in solidarity with schools across the city, and I’m excited that Chancellor Porter is listening and responding to parents around this issue. But this can’t just be a one time shift in policy -- we need to prioritize school budgets every year regardless of federal funding. This amnesty is the first step -- next we need commitments of more funding, more resources and a real plan for in-person learning in the fall.”

Justin Krebs, candidate for the 39th Council District, released a four-point platform of quick, high-impact actions he would initiate in 2022 to fight climate change and make streets safer in Brooklyn without waiting for citywide action.

If elected, Justin will make it a top priority to roll out these initiatives in early 2022:

• Go Big on Rooftop Solar for Both Owners and Renters

• Go Big on Safe Streets and Pedestrian-First Zones

• Go Big on Reducing our Food and Waste Footprint

• Accelerate the Cleanup of Toxic Legacies in our Backyard

After a year of shut down, the Brooklyn bar Dram Shop reopened its doors this Saint Patrick’s Day. Dram Shop, located on 339 9th street between 5th and 6th ave, has served Brooklyn residents for over 15 years. The bar’s revitalization includes new outdoor seating and limited indoor capacity. All waiters are required to wear masks.

Regular patron Justin Krebs, founder of Drinking Liberally and candidate for City Council, toasted the reopening with friends at an outside happy hour to christen the new seating and welcome back the neighborhood water hole. “Two weeks before Dram Shop closed, we hosted a Super Tuesday watch party there. It’s a place I’ve gone with friends—and where, at the bar, I’ve made friends. .So many neighborhood bars got hit by the pandemic—I’ve missed my ice cold Sweet Action, the familiar staff, the friendly regulars.”
