ACTION ALERT: Call your City Council Member

Call your City Council member and tell them to vote NO on the proposed redevelopment of the Kingsbridge Armory.


SAMPLE MESSAGE:

Hi I my name is ________________________ and I am your constituent. I live at: (Address).

I am calling because the vote on the Kingsbridge Armory is scheduled to take place next Wed., Dec 9th.

I urge you to vote NO since Related refuses sign a Community Benefits Agreement that guarantees that all the Retail jobs in the project will pay NYC residents a Living wage of at least $10 an hour.

NYC residents need a living wage & Related can more than afford it. (Best to tell a story about WHY we need a living wage and/or use any of the talking points by clicking here)

Can we count on you stand up for Living Wage jobs and Vote no on Related's plan? (Push for a YES or NO answer!)

Thank you.
