A coalition of elected officials, community members and affected employees was set to rally outside Echo Drugs at 260 Broadway in Williamsburg on the morning of February 12 to protest what organizers described as harassment and the potential displacement of the longtime Brooklyn pharmacy, according to a media advisory from the office of Assemblywoman Maritza Davila.
The advisory, distributed by the New York State Assembly, said the rally was scheduled for 9 a.m. at the pharmacy’s storefront. It framed the gathering as an effort to keep Echo Drugs in the neighborhood and to draw attention to pressure the business and its workers say they have faced.
