Here is a suggested form letter you may use:

Dear Mayor and City Council,

I urge you to immediately halt any plans that would displace artists or reduce artist space in the Torpedo Factory Art Center. The Torpedo Factory is a unique treasure of Alexandria. I support the artists and recognize that they are one of the main reasons so many thousands of visitors come to Alexandria’s waterfront. Support the artists and keep the Torpedo Factory as it is!
