Dear ,
You may have seen that we recently released Dianne’s plan for public infrastructure investment — and today we’re happy to report that Streetsblog called it “a bold, intersectional statement” and “a call to arms: ‘It’s time to reclaim our space!’”
Dianne is fighting to radically reimagine our streets and public spaces as the places where the people of a city connect — to jobs, to loved ones and to community. Streetsblog noted that that “includes the widest definition of public space needs, such as broadband wireless, a public takeover of utilities, creating more parks, ending ‘hostile architecture’ and changing the way land is even developed.”
Streetsblog made clear that Dianne is more explicit than other candidates in this race about seeing our streets themselves as public spaces, especially after seeing how New Yorkers have utilized our streets over the past year:
“The open streets program opened up the imagination of so many New Yorkers. People had the experience to walk and be among the community. And it has primed New Yorkers to want to reclaim our spaces. Every little pocket where [open streets] were working felt otherworldly — people really embraced it. There is an opening here to take it to the next level. The city was designed to prioritize cars and not people, and now is the time to put people first.”

We’re defying expectations at every turn because of your support. Will you help Dianne unlock an 8:1 match by our deadline at 11:59 PM TONIGHT so we can build a new New York City together?
In solidarity,
Team Dianne
