SAVE 1-FAMILY NEW YORK – FOLLOW UP ZOOM MEETING – MONDAY, March 13th, 2023 – 8PM
All –
Apologies to those who did not show up to the Zoom meeting on Tuesday nightdue to the initial mistake on the date…that won’t happen again!
Here’s a quick summary of what happened at the meeting:
Approximately 100 people attended the Zoom meeting, representing the same coalition of organizations and municipalities from Queens, Staten Island Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester. Our initial discussion centered upon whether we should put together a bus caravan to Albany on either Monday March 20th or Tuesday March 21st in order to rally and have a press conference on the steps of the Capitol Building, followed by a lobbying effort of all elected officials. After taking a straw poll, only 20 to 25 attendees could commit to attending either day, resulting in a relatively small turnout. The goal of our action is to have a showing of organized strength against Governor Hochul’s Housing Compact, and it did not look like this would be the answer.
After significant discussion and numerous excellent ideas proposed by a number of the attendees, a number of points seemed to be the best course(s) of action:
1) Create a “digital rally” that will directly target ALL elected officials in State Government (and local government as well)
2) Hold a week of in-person rallies/pressers, one in each county (Queens, Westchester, etc.) per day starting on th. This potentially will work well, as there are already several planned for that week. Alternatively, hold simultaneous rallies in different counties on one day.
3) Culminate in a combined rally/presser in front of the Governor’s office in Manhattan (3rd Avenue & 38th Street) one week later on th or th which will occur just before the budget process ends.
To finalize our plan of action, we will have one more Zoom meeting on Monday, March 13th at 8pm.
