THREE LAST ACTIONS FOR A FAIR CITY BUDGET

 

We’re in the last hours of talks on this year’s City budget – it’s time for one last round of actions to demand a fair budget agreement that would restore Bloomberg’s cuts to essential programs and services and prevent mass layoffs that would make a bad economy even worse.

 

Please join us on Thursday and Friday, and be ready to join one last action next week to make a real difference for millions of New Yorkers.

 

1.  CONTACT THE COUNCIL TODAY/THURSDAY

 

Today/Thursday from 2PM to 5PM we’ll be contacting key members of the City Council Budget Negotiating Team (BNT) by phone, email, Facebook and Twitter to tell them:

 

“Stay strong, stand up against the Bloomberg budget – make big banks and millionaires pay their fair share and bring home a fair City budget without severe cuts and layoffs.”

 

Full contact information for all BNT members is listed below and is on our Facebook page at facebook.com/beyondmay12

 

2.  SPEAK OUT TO COUNCIL MEMBERS FRIDAY

 

On Friday we’ll be outside 250 Broadway in Manhattan where Council Members are working from 11AM to 1PM giving the same message in person – take a long lunch hour, bring your friends and join us in face-to-face advocacy to keep the Council strong and stop the worst of the Bloomberg cuts.

 

3.  STAND BY TO FIGHT NEXT WEEK

 

Our May 12 Coalition has marched, rallied, conducted teach-ins and budget hearings, issued reports, won the support of 20 City Council members for fair-share revenue alternatives and brought over 100 unions, community groups, human service providers and advocacy organizations together to say “enough is enough – we demand a fair budget that protects poor and working New Yorkers.”

 

We’re fighting for a fair City budget that restores the worst cuts, and with your help this week, we expect to win one soon.  But if Mayor Bloomberg and the City Council haven’t come to a decent deal by this weekend, we need to be ready for one more push next week.

 

Thanks for your energy, commitment and dedication – together we can make a difference for all New Yorkers.
