A word from Reverend Billy to all citizens of New York City

Dear Neighbors,

I am running for Mayor of New York City. Our campaign is devoted to nourishing and strengthening our common wealth, our city's heritage, our lovely parks, roads, streets, neighborhoods, and the people who live in them.

Our revolt is from the fabulous 500 neighborhoods that we all call our HOME.

And WE must keep our HOME:

Viable, Vibrant, Healthy and Safe

VIABLE:
Instituting locally based, sustainable solutions that will not only see us through our current crisis but allow us to live in stable, viable communities for the long term. Thoughtful urban planning, managing growth, and preserving the local physical and built environment will be a priority.

*A Green New Deal*
The emerging green economy should be an engine for neighborhood job creation, harnessed to elicit bottom up solutions and entrepreneurial opportunities. We must also scale up the proposed retrofit programs, and meet the President’s targets for energy conservation and emission reductions.

*Hail the Local Economies*
We call for tax policies and retail zoning reforms that will protect, support and encourage local, community-owned businesses.

*Protect The Stability Of Neighborhoods*
We want to make rent affordable for working families and local businesses. All new developments must be community-driven and community-approved.
