Contact the Major — Tell Him About Our Plight: Save Our Homes
Here's something each of us can do right from our homes. Pick up your
phone, sit down with a pen and pad, or turn on your computer, and send
a message to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. Tell him you support his stated
goal of preserving and providing more affordable housing, and the best
way to do it right now is to prevent a buyout of Independence Plaza North.
A buyout will remove IPN from the Mitchell-Lama program and force our
rents to reach "market" rate. That means astronomical increases.
That really means good bye to IPN and Tribeca as our home, good bye to
a mixed-income, ethnically diverse, family-oriented community.
Tell him about your home at IPN, about your family, about how important
it is for you to stay in the community you love. Tell him that it’s
cheaper to save existing affordable housing than to build new housing.
The more of us who contact him with the same simple message, the more
aware he is of IPNTA as a serious voting bloc. That's what makes politicians
move.
Contact him today. Use any one of these methods:
- E-Mail: http://nyc.gov/html/mail/html/mayor.html.
This takes you directly to a screen to send e-mails to him.
- Telephone: (212) 788-9600 between 9 am and 5 pm weekdays. You will
hear a recording. Press Option 0. That will put you in touch with an
operator. Speak to her about our plight. She will either take a message,
or connect you with some official. If the latter, speak to the official
about our plight.
- Regular mail: Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, City Hall, New York,
NY 10007
- FAX: (212) 788-2460
