ABSENTEE BALLOT NEWS
Requesting an Absentee Ballot is now simpler than ever!
While we await Absentee Ballot applications to be mailed to all registered voters, as committed to by the Governor, the Board of Elections has updated their website. You can fill in this simple form to have the June 23rd ballot mailed to you: https://nycabsentee.com/absentee
Quickly and easily select from their ballot delivery options, including:

The Independent Restaurant Coalition (IRC) is asking Congress for a package to economically sustain them.

- Email your officials with one-click HERE
While U.S. airlines directly employ 750,000 people (according to Airlines for America), “independent restaurants directly employ 11,000,000 workers and indirectly employ tens of millions more up and down the food and hospitality supply chain. We are small businesses, but have a big impact on the economy with $1 trillion contributed to the economy each year and 4% of GDP … 90% of revenue gets paid out directly to our employees, suppliers, and rent.” - IRC

SUPPORT THE DWELLING PLACE OF NY TODAY
The Dwelling Place of NY is a privately-funded 15-bed transitional residence for homeless women located in Midtown Manhattan. Its mission remains steadfast: to offer safe shelter and individualized care, support, and guidance to homeless women as they build a sustainable, self-supported life-style.
3 WAYS TO SUPPORT
- If you are in a position to give, please make a donation of any amount. Every gift makes a difference and is deeply appreciated.
- Start a fundraiser on Facebook by visiting their Facebook page and clicking ‘Fundraisers’ then 'Raise Money' - or go directly to this link - and set up your page in moments. Be sure to use the hashtag #GivingTuesdayNow. There are no processing fees on the funds you raise, and it is a great way to tell friends about our work and plight of women experiencing homelessness.
- Raise awareness about The Dwelling Place of NY and the women we serve. Learn more about homelessness in our City and forward this email to 5 friends.
