LATINOS Y LATINAS POR NORMAN SIEGEL
Amigos, familias y communidades,
Norman Siegel es nuestro People’s Advocate. We need you to help make Norman New York City’s Public Advocate in 2009.
Norman is an activist lawyer who fights for freedom, justice and equality. When he’s the Public Advocate, he’ll fight for a better New York — good schools, housing, public transportation, and health care for all!
Over his 40 year career, Norman has stood by our Latino community. El Diario and Hoy endorsed Norman in 2005. He was named “Advocate of 2008” at the Bronx Puerto Rican Day Parade. Here are a few reasons why:
- He’s fighting to protect Latino families and small businesses against the use of eminent domain in West Harlem and Downtown Brooklyn.
- He defended Latino police officers’ right to march in uniform in the Puerto Rican Day Parade and spoke out when hundreds of paradegoers were unjustly arrested.
- He assisted with the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund to secure Spanish-language ballots for New York City voters.
The Public Advocate is our voice in city government. We need a Public Advocate who cares about Latinos and immigrant rights. With the economy the way it is, amigos, we need a progressive who stands up for hardworking families. And we need someone with integrity who can keep the politicians honest.
We need Norman Siegel, the Peoples’ Advocate.
We’re working together to make sure Norman is the next Public Advocate — but we can’t do it without your vote and your help. Latinos y Latinas por Norman Siegel is reaching out to friends and neighbors and inviting you to meet Norman, discuss his vision for New York City, and support his campaign.
Join us on January 5th for our kickoff event. A suggested donation of $25 will really help Norman’s campaign. We hope to see you at this exciting event. RSVP today!
