SUMMARY:City of Yes - Call to Action on July 10th!
DESCRIPTION:We MUST show up in force to this hearing\, testify and tell them EXACTLY WHAT WE THINK OF THE CITY OF YES FOR HOUSING OPPORTUNITY!\nAll – \nAfter two months of Community Board hearings and votes on the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity\, that part of the process has finally come to a close. \nThe work that we have put in to make it clear to Community Boards across the city about our total opposition to this apocalyptic package of proposed citywide zoning changes has paid off. \n\nIn every borough outside of Manhattan\, a large majority of boards has voted NO.\nIn Staten Island\, it’s unanimous opposition from Community Boards – 3 out of 3.\nIn Queens\, 12 of 14 Boards voted No.\nIn the Bronx\, which had a majority in favor of the Economic Opportunity package\, it’s 7 No\, 4 Yes with 1 that hasn’t voted.\nAnd\, in Brooklyn\, where we are still waiting for a complete tally\, we know that a majority have voted NO.  \n\nThe deadline for the Community Boards and Borough Presidents to file their votes and testimony to the City Planning Commission is Monday\, July 8th. \nWe thought that this process would continue in September at the City Planning Commission. However\, they had other plans. \nLast Wednesday\, the City Planning Commission stealthily announced that they will have their (most likely sole) public hearing on Wednesday\, July 10th at 10am (see below and here).   \nWe already know that the City Planning Commission intends to vote in favor of the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity.  \nIt’s their proposal and\, based on what happened back in March when they had their hearing on the Economic Opportunity portion of the City of Yes\, they will pretend that the Community Boards and Public were mostly in favor and approve it with extremely minor changes. \nRegardless of how they will vote\, we MUST show up in force to this hearing\, testify and tell them EXACTLY WHAT WE THINK OF THE CITY OF YES FOR HOUSING OPPORTUNITY! \nHowever\, don’t bother going to the hearing in person. Sitting for 6 hours or more in their small hearing room in order to testify for two minutes is\, frankly\, a waste of your time. \nLike the previous Economic Opportunity hearing\, this one will be hybrid – in-person and on Zoom – so you will be able to get in your two minutes by Zoom. However\, if you are testifying by Zoom\, they will not give the actual Zoom information or link out until one hour or so before the hearing – at 9am on Wednesday\, July 10th. \nIt’s important for us to give our public testimony for at least three reasons: \n\nTo show that we will not be silenced and fooled by the propaganda and lies in the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity being put forth by Mayor Adams\, Dan Garodnick and the City Planning Commission.\nWe need to communicate to the City Council\, journalists and other interested parties that we are 100% opposed to the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity\, which will cause wholesale destruction and elimination of our communities.\nWe must be on the public record and our voices need to be heard. If this ultimately does pass at the City Council\, it will be part of any lawsuit that we file against the city due to the Department of City Planning’s clearly and purposefully deficient Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that is the basis of the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity.\n\nHere are a few tips to testifying on Zoom: \n\nBe brief and to the point. Make sure that you keep your remarks specific and short as they will switch your microphone off when the bell marks two minutes. Try to time your testimony beforehand on a stopwatch so that you keep it shorter than that so you can get all of your points across.\nStay focused on our common concerns – we are all in this together. Our position has been that we are 100% opposed to the City of Yes for Housing Opportunityand that this is non-negotiable\, as each and every part of the proposed zoning text will destroy our communities across the city – particularly lower-density\, but high-density areas as well. Keeping our testimony clear and focused should be the goal\, including such key issues as reminding them that we know it’s not going to create affordable housing of any kind\, will replace owner-occupied housing with market-rate rental units\, increase density without infrastructure and ultimately end enforcement of illegal apartments throughout the city.\nMost of all\, keep it local. If you are the president\, officer or other representative of a civic\, homeowner or other umbrella organization\, make sure that you identify the organization and how many households you represent in your geographical area (not your paid membership). Also make sure that you identify your neighborhood and what borough you’re from. In other words\, please tailor your testimony to your own neighborhoods as much as possible to show how economically and demographically diverse communities with different building types and occupancy (one-family\, two-family\, rowhouses\, garden apartments\, coops\, etc.) will be affected.\n\nIt is incumbent upon all of us to show up\, speak out and participate in this process. This is not a theoretical exercise\, so we have the most to lose. We live in our neighborhoods – and we vote! Please tell your friends and neighbors to sign up as soon as the Zoom link becomes available. This will be on Wednesday\, July 10th around 9am. \nIf you have any other questions or comments\, get in touch with me this week! \nBest\, \nPaul Graziano \nsave1familyny.org \nFor the full notice and links\, please read the PDF at this link. \nThe City Planning Commission (CPC)\, acting as lead agency\, issued a Notice of Completion on April 26\, 2024 for a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for City of Yes for Housing Opportunity proposal in accordance with Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law. A public hearing on the DEIS will be held on Wednesday\, July 10\, 2024\, at 10:00 AM in conjunction with the CPC’s public hearing.  \nTo continue to allow for broad public participation\, the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) will hold the public hearing accessible both in-person and remotely via the teleconferencing application Zoom. Comments are requested on the DEIS and will be accepted through 5:00 PM\, July 22\, 2024. \nTo join the meeting and comment\, please visit the NYC Engage site\, https://www.nyc.gov/engage. \nIf you would like to register to testify via phone\, need assistance with technical issues\, or have any questions about participation you may call any of the phone numbers listed below\, then enter the following Meeting ID. \n(877) 853-5247 (Toll-free) \n(888) 788-0099 (Toll-free) \n(213) 338-8477 (Toll) \n(253) 215-8782 (Toll) \nThen enter the following meeting ID and password when prompted. \nMeeting ID: 618 237 7396 \nPassword: 1 \n[The Participant ID can be skipped by pressing #] \nInstructions on how to participate\, as well as materials relating to the hearing\, will be posted on the NYC Engage site on the day of the Public Hearing\, no later than 1 hour prior to the hearing.  \nTo help the meeting host effectively manage members of the public who sign up to comment\, those who do not intend to actively participate are invited to watch the livestream or the recording that will be posted after the meeting.

SUMMARY:Leadership Institute Pro-Life training on Saturday\, July 13th
DESCRIPTION:Hello Pro-Life New Yorkers\, \nI wanted to let you know that we will be doing a NY State circuit on Pro-Life Activism and Communication / Get-Out the Pro-Life Vote (GOTV) workshop. \nWe’ve confirmed and secured the morning training in Queens! \n LeadershipInstitute.org/ProLifeQueens \n  And if you have at least 10 of your folks show up\, I will share the entire registration list for the event! \nI was previously a Pro-Life lobbyist in Texas and this scenario is all too common where we let our guard down because we think a “bill” or effort is defeated only for it to be resurrected in the final critical moments of a political cycle. (Which is what we saw play out with the ERA) \nWE HAVE TO DO OUR PART WHICH IS INFORM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND PRO-LIFERS ALIKE! \nIf you are not already aware of the Leadership Institute\, we have been training Conservatives how to win their elections since 1979\, we have always been Pro-Life and been training leaders in the Pro-Life movement\, include those like Lila Rose\, James O’Keefe and Senator Ted Cruz\, and many others\, including the late and great\, Chris Slattery\, whom I had the chance to meet while he hosted the Leadership Institute for a Pro-Life training/fundraiser on a river boat cruise. His work and legacy and words spoken to me truly impacted me during my first month in this current role\, and I hope to bring that same passion to y’all next month. \nWe are partnering with New York State Right to Life\, as well as whichever local affiliate is able to host the training and/or willing to promote the workshop for this circuit. \nOur program is both informative and entertaining\, we also provide the catered food and drink. \nYou just have to bring the people! *More on that at the end* \n The last stop and training will be in Queens on Saturday\, July 13th at 9:30 AM-12:30 PM. Lunch provided!  \n(There is the opportunity to host an late afternoon/ or evening dinner training\, if somebody can help us organize with a church space\, I believe Brooklyn is working on that?) \nWe need to train your folks with what we have learned from many different national organizations and state battles fought across the nation how to counter the Pro-Abortion narrative and impact this election by changing minds and opening hearts. \nPlease reach out to myself (contact info below) or Gabriel (Gavi) Greenspan at:  GGreenspan@nysrighttolife.org \n We would love a unified effort to help promote this event to all Pro-Life folks! \nWe are sharing it with every conservative in the surrounding area(s). \n And if you have at least 10 of your folks show up\, I will share the entire registration list of the event to your organization! \n*Have them indicate on their registration page the organization they are with/heard about the training! (Or mention during check-in) \nBest\, \n Jerry Sharp III\nDeputy Director of Pro-Life Programs\nLeadership Institute\nD: (703) 647-3280 (Call or Text) \nO: (703) 247-2000 \nJSharp@LeadershipInstitute.org
