>PETITION IN SUPPORT OF NYC'S GARDENS
>
>Dear Mayor Giuliani,
>
>Community gardens represent one of the best and most all around
>positive developments in New York City. They are founded by working New
>
>Yorkers, thrive on principles of a true democracy, provide solace,
>learning, and
>pleasure to young and old, offer bridges across cultures and ethnic
>groups, offer space for a multitude of cultural activities, and turn
>neighborhoods and indeed the city as a whole into a more vibrant and
>healthy environment.
>
>New York's gardens have set a national example of innovative and
>successful public policy and urban renewal. They are studied and
>admired across the country. Their preservation represents a special
>opportunity to set a
>critical environmental benchmark in this issue and to evidence
>foresight for the cities of the future.
>
>We hereby ask that you withdraw the gardens from the auction list.

>Sincerely,
