To: Christine Quinn, Speaker of the New York City Council
VETO NYC COUNCIL LINES
New Yorkers don't want backroom deals determining our elected officials. We request that a vote be held immediately to veto the proposed City Council lines.
Why is this important?
The Redistricting process for the New York City Council has been nakedly political gerrymandering. Under the auspices of an independent commission, the Council has implemented a bold incumbent protection program that has disenfranchised Latino/as and helped disgraced sexual abuser Vito Lopez and the people who support him. We call on the Speaker to hold a vote of the City Council to veto these lines before they take effect on Thursday, December 6th.
