Hello all, Please take a few minutes to send a letter to the mayor in support of the garden, and donate to the legal fund if you can. Let's get to a million letters!
Also, please forward this email to your networks and ask your friends and families to do the same. It takes less than a minute of your time to do so. THANK YOU!

Regards,

Magali

In This Issue: Update On Eviction Letters Sent To Mayor Adams Merch Partnership W. Pathway To Paris How You Can Help Recent Press Share Tweet Forward Update On Eviction Today is not the garden's last day.  Our attorneys advise that the law requires the City to provide us 14 days notice before they can perform an eviction. We have not received any such notice. So for now, the Garden is safe from being shuttered. We will let everyone know if we receive the 14 days notice in the future.  We continue to pursue all options available to save the garden including remaining legal options. Please stay tuned in. We’re also working with Councilmember Christopher Marte's office to locate more options for affordable housing at private sites in the district. This is an effort to add to the existing proposal that preserves the garden in its entirety and provides more affordable units. Mayor Adams and Deputy Mayor Maria Torress-Springer are aware of our efforts to locate more affordable opportunities at private sites. We have a rare opportunity for the Mayor, City Council, and the community to all work together on a solution that provides affordable housing in the district and preserves Elizabeth Street Garden with no loss to the community.  We remain hopeful that the Mayor will stay true to his word and visit the garden.   ✿ DONATE ✿ Letters Sent To Mayor Adams Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, & Patti Smith join thousands of people, PS 130 Students, over 130 local seniors, and over 160 local businesses & organizations urging Mayor Adams to save Elizabeth Street Garden.  Read the letters and media coverage at the link below.   ✿ Supporters Page ✿ Send A Letter To The Mayor Help us keep the pressure on while we work on the next legal steps! Send a pre-written letter to Mayor Eric Adams and NYC Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) demanding they stop the eviction and work with the community to save Elizabeth Street Garden! We've extended our goal to 1,000,000 letters!  SEND A LETTER! The City is moving forward with their attempt to evict and destroy the garden. Our legal team is working hard and we are doing everything we can to achieve a solution that saves the garden and gets much-needed affordable housing at existing alternative sites within our Community Board and Council districts.
