Save The Library press conference in Inwood Thursday |
We hope that library defenders registered as Democratic in New York City will be voting this Tuesday (September 12, 2017), in the primary. Much of what you as a voter might want to know you were likely to find out if, this Thursday, you were with the crowd up in the neighborhood of Inwood standing outside the Inwood Library calling for that library to be saved from sale from development by Mayor Bill de Blasio and his administration.

Sal Albanese, candidate for Mayor |
You would have heard Sal Albanese, running for mayor against library-selling Bill de Blasio decrying the de Blasio administration’s many library sales, including the Inwood library. Sal Albanese has signed our
Citizens Defending Libraries Letter of Support. More on what you need to know about the two Democratic candidates for mayor is available here:
Democratic Primary (September 12, 2017)- Candidates For Mayor: Sal Albanese vs. Bill de Blasio.

David Eisenbach, candidate for NYC Public Advocate |
David Eisenbach was there. He is running against incumbent Tish James for the office of Public Advocate. David Eisenbach has signed our
Citizens Defending Libraries Letter of Support. More on what you need to know about the two Democratic candidates for Public Advocate is available here:
Democratic Primary (September 12, 2017)- Candidates For Public Advocate: David Eisenbach vs. incumbent Tish James.
You also need to know that a lot of the people who are causing trouble for the communities they are supposed to represent are city councilmen helping to push through sale of the libraries. In the neighborhood of Inwood, Josue Perez is running against the local
library-selling city councilman Ydanis Rodriguez and therefore
has gotten “
support of several Uptown groups, including Save the Inwood Library.” Josue Perez spoke at Thursday’s Save The Inwood Library Press conference.

Other city council members high on the list NOT to vote for because they favor and push through library sales:
Brad Lander,
Steve Levin (sales are shrinking two libraries in his district the Brooklyn Heights Library and Williamsburg Library),
Carlos Menchaca (selling the Sunset park Library), and
Laurie Cumbo.
Ede Fox is running against Ms. Cumbo and her real estate money.
