Last Week! Please Click to Email TODAY!

We are in the final 6 days of this fight. Council Member Hanif told us that the rezoning decision will be made by February 12.

She told us that she supports a building “less than 11 stories,” but that is not what we want. There will be 11 story luxury buildings on Prospect Avenue unless we act now.

The owners of Arrow Linen have no land costs, they’ve had a 25 year tax break and they’ve never supported Windsor Terrace. There is NO reason to give them an inch over 9 stories.

Council Member Hanif is up for reelection this June and her reelection hinges on her decision next week. Tell her that you will stand with her in June if she stands with us now.

We have 6 days. PLEASE CLICK HERE TODAY TO SEND ONE LAST EMAIL to ensure our voices are heard by Council Member Hanif and her allies in the City Council.  It takes 10 seconds and makes a huge difference!

We want 9 stories at 40% Affordable. Tell Council Member Hanif, don’t help the rich get richer. Stand up for your constituents!

We want to thank the more than 200 members of our community who came out last Sunday to rally for affordable, contextual housing at the Arrow Linen site. See pictures and news coverage below.

We appreciate your patience and support as we ask you to send yet another email so your voice can be heard. This is an important email that tells Shahana Hanif and the members of the City Council’s Land Use and Zoning committees where we stand!

What’s coming next?

  • In mid-February, Council Member Hanif will make the final decision and the City Council will vote. 
  • Register to vote in this year’s Democratic Primary: The City Council District 39 Primary is this June. If you want to influence the upcoming race for City Council, consider registering as a Democrat. If you are already registered with another party or as independent, you can temporarilty change your party affiliation for this election, and change it back after June. The deadline to change your registration is February 14, 2025. Please click here to register or change your registration.

We Will Support Shahana Hanif if She Supports Her Constituents - Vote 9 Stories and 40% Affordable for Arrow Linen!
Dear Council Member Hanif, Members of the City Council Subcommittees for Land Use, and Zoning and Franchises, and Borough President Reynoso:

Council Member Hanif - we will stand with you in June if you stand with us now as the Arrow Linen rezoning comes to a conclusion. Although we prefer a shorter 100% affordable building, we will stand with you if the rezoning is limited to 40% affordable at 9 stories - AND NO TALLER.

Not by community benefit agreement. Not by memorandum of understanding. But enforceable by zoning district.

The Maglicocco family have NO land costs. They have paid NO property taxes for 25 years. They are BAD neighbors and employers. They will make enough millions regardless. Don’t help the rich get richer. Instead, STAND WITH YOUR CONSTITUENTS! 

If Arrow Linen balks, SIMPLY VOTE NO!

If you truly know the neighborhood, you know the danger to the community and those whose families can afford their rent today.

We will never forget the decision that you make in this matter. I hope that we can count on your leadership to support us today and that we can support you long into the future.
