What can you do?
TAKE ACTION NOW
Here are two postcards: 1)
a Post Card to the Mayor
and 2) A Post Card to the City
Council, for you to download and print. Each one prints four
postcards to a page and has a second page with the mailing address.
We suggest printing page one of each, unless you can do two-sided
printing or want to tape the mailing address on the reverse of the
card. You can cut the page into four to have four postcards that
you, your family, friends, and neighbors can sign and mail to the
Mayor and City Council. Or, you might want to address one postcard
directly to your district City Councilor and two to the two
city-wide councilors who do not yet support us (Michael Flaherty and
Steven Murphy).
City Council contact information may
