Belle Isle is a Park! Not a Racetrack!

 

Saturday, May 26 at 12 PM - 2 PM

  • BELLE ISLE:

    ​ 
    ​ 
    NO PLACE FOR A
    ​ 
    CAR RACE!
    WHY RALLY AGAINST CAR RACING ON BELLE ISLE?

     

    Citizens and guests visiting Belle Isle, our precious

    ​ 
    public park, have restricted access to the most beautiful
    parts of the island during April, May and June, three prime
    ​ 
    months of the year!

    The private, commercial Detroit Grand Prix gouges that much time
    ​ 
    for setting up, running and dismantling the racecourse.

    Joggers, walkers, bicyclists and folks seeking the sanctuary of a
    ​ 
    peaceful, urban park are confronted by massive detours,
    ​ 
    cement barriers and cyclone fencing.

    WHAT CAN YOU DO?

     

    Join our peaceful rally to: PROTEST THE GRAND PRIX ON BELLE ISLE!
