Dear Supporter of Return Rivington House to the LES: Thank you for signing the petition to save Rivington House and bring it back to the Lower East Side community it was built to serve. In just one week, the petition has reached nearly 800 signers and our campaign continues to make waves. With support from Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer and City Councilor Margaret Chin, and with the five ongoing city and state investigations, we believe we can really win this building back. But in order to do so, we're going to need more people signing the petition and getting involved. **Can you help us get to 1,000 signers by Monday by sharing this petition with everyone you know and asking them to sign?** Just go to the petition landing page using the link below and use any of the options on the right to share via email, Facebook or other social media platforms. https://www.change.org/p/mayor-deblasio-return-rivington-house-to-the-les You can use the sample email text below or write a message in your own words about why this is important to you (which is usually better!) Thank you so much for joining with us, Neighbors to Save Rivington House ~Sample Text~ Dear Friend, I'm writing to ask you to join me in supporting an important local campaign to save a building called Rivington House. Earlier this year, Rivington House became the latest New York nursing/care home to be bought by real estate developers only to be abruptly closed—after a series of questionable deals and grossly insufficient and hidden public notice—to make way for luxury condos. This leaves our elderly and most vulnerable without the care they need, displaces skilled nursing staff from their jobs, and breaks down the relationships that hold this community together. Will you join me in signing a petition to return Rivington House to our community's elders and most vulnerable, so they can have a safe, supportive, and affordable place to live?
