For example:
Sincerely,
The first order of business is to get the Resolution passed in the
Government Operations Committee where it is now. This 9-member Committee
is Chaired by Bill Perkins and has 2 more Black members, (Phil Reed and
Leroy Comrie) but the other 6 members are white. There is already one
white woman on the Committee, Christine Quinn, who supports it, but we
need to get at least one more for it to pass. The 2 who we think have a
good chance of being persuaded to vote for it are Eva Moskowitz and
Michael Nelson. These are the 2 people it is most crucial we all
contact. Their email addresses are:
moskowitz@council.nyc.ny.us
Then, if you can do more, the other white members on the Committee are:
Here are the Latino and Asian brothers and sisters. Except the very first, Ruben
Diaz, they're pretty certain to vote for the Resolution, but again, it
can only do good if you let them know where you stand.
diaz@council.nyc.ny.us (Rev. Diaz is a minister and he has not committed to signing this resolution. If you are a person of faith, explain to him why your faith strengthens your commitment to reparations.)
And these are the rest of the white City Council Members in the order of
how likely they are to support the Resolution, with the best at the top
and the ones we hold out little hope for at the bottom.
deblasio@council.nyc.ny.us
Finally, show solidarity with the Council Members of
African descent who are all in favor of the Resolution and write to:
perkins@council.nyc.ny.us
And last but not least, let Councilperson Charles Barron know you
support him, and you appreciate his tremendous work sponsoring this resolution! Contact him at
