Take Action
Stop the MTA fare hike, and save our buses and subways
The MTA voted on March 25 to enact a massive fare hike and unacceptably deep cuts in service on subways and buses throughout our community - including to the B67, B69, B75, B77, B23, and the F train. There is another choice, but it calls for courageous action in Albany. Please join me in calling on State Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith to do the right thing.
Honor Julian Brennan’s Memory by Helping Build Schools in Afghanistan
Marine Lance Corporal Julian Brennan, who grew up on 15th Street in Park Slope, was 25 when he was killed in Afghanistan on January 24, 2009. In a remarkable act of compassion, his parents Bill and Thya Brennan are asking us to make contributions to the Central Asia Institute, which builds schools in Afghanistan.
Support a Fair Share Plan to Protect Public Services
New York is facing a huge budget gap that demands tough choices. More than 80% of you who responded to our community survey want to protect core public services (like public education and transit) -- even if that requires asking a bit more from those who can afford it. Unfortunately, Governor Paterson is proposing deep, painful cuts to hospitals, schools, libraries, and parks. A fair solution will have to include some cuts to popular programs -- but the wealthiest New Yorkers must also shoulder a fair share of the burden. Working families should not bear the brunt of the budget crisis alone.
