Lucas --
If you care about independent theater in New York, the 3rd City Council District is the place to be. We have the Off Broadway community, the small theaters of Chelsea, the West Village and everything in between. No one represents them better than the League of Independent Theaters. Representing the interests of over 50,000 artists here in NYC, the League works hard for the interests of artists and the small business owners that keep these theaters going. That is why I am proud to have their endorsement, and as someone that comes from a family of artists, I am committed to working for the issues that matter to artists.
This is what John Clancy, Executive Director of the League, had to say about our campaign:
"The League of Independent Theater is delighted to endorse Yetta Kurland in her run for New York City Council in the 3rd District. Yetta not only gets it, she's a tireless and proven fighter for it, and in this critical district, home to more theaters than anywhere in the City, the arts community will have no greater advocate than Yetta."
Please take a look at this short clip from the League's Forum from our district:
Members of the League are joining us for nightly phonebanks, will you join along with them?
I am also excited to annonce the endorsement of the 504 Democratic Club. For thirty years they have been working for the rights of disabled New Yorkers. And as the next City Councilmember from the 3rd District, I will help champion that work.
But we can't do that without your help. Join us for our nightly phonebanking, from 5pm - 9pm by emailing lenni@yettakurland.com or calling us at 646.801.8190 now.
With just three weeks and counting, your support is needed more than ever.
Best,
Yetta.
