THE STORY: PROOF
The Bronx Chamber of Commerce, an entity is celebrating its 118th birthday and was founded in 1894, along with its 600 members is delighted to hear that Fresh Direct has chosen The Bronx as the site of their new distribution home. The move, which will transfer almost two thousand jobs, 30% of which are currently Bronxites, and will create an additional 1,000 in the next five years, will provide sorely needed jobs in the borough with the highest concentration of unemployment in the State of New York.
Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of the start of protests in Bahrain. Tens of thousands are expected to take to the streets to protest a government that has committed terrible violence against its own citizens.
When Bahrain's streets awaken in protest tomorrow, will government forces crack down on peaceful demonstrators again? Will there be more tear gas, torture, killings?
We don't know what will happen tomorrow. But we do know that tragedy is not inevitable.
