Dear all,

We are still struggling -- 10 years since we started this petition -- to persuade Chair Sarah Carroll and the Landmarks Preservation Commission to give us a hearing on protecting the Downtown Community House. With only a few months left in Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration, we hope to make an additional push.

However, we want to thank the wonderful Bowery Boys podcast for doing this great treatment on Little Syria and for sharing our petition: https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/2021/09/a-trip-to-little-syria-new-yorks-first-middle-eastern-neighborhood.html

And, if you can, please keep sharing it yourself. Perhaps with a link to the new podcast!

Best wishes,

Todd
