Stonewall Members and Friends:

Email Jake or call 718-360-1460 and let him know when you can
volunteer for Bob's historic campaign. They'll be lit dropping this

Forward this email to everyone you know, especially people who may live in the 39th district, which includes Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Kensington, and Boro Park.
Together, we can do this.
Sincerely,
Richard Allman
