Photo Feature: Rally against the “bake sale ban”

Written by D.W. Fletcher @ 4:46 pm

As I type, concerned New Yorkers are protesting the impending “bake sale ban” outside City Hall. Parents, students and educators organized the “bake-in” to voice their discontent with the ban on selling home-baked goods in school fundraisers, while pre-packaged foods, such as Doritos and Pop-Tarts, are permitted.

Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and City Council member Gail Brewer are speaking on the issue. View more pictures, courtesy of our own Laura Zingmond, after the jump. We’ll have a full report up tomorrow morning.
