Help defend your nightlife.  It is urgent that we get as many supporters of the "City That Never Sleeps" at the Nightlife Townhall Meeting, sponsored by state senator Daniel Squadron.  Memebers of the New York State Liquor Authority, New York Police Department, and elected officials will be present, which is why we must show our unity and support to help maintain a vibrant nightlife.  There will be plenty of people at the meeting who are against our industry - we need the numbers to show the authorities that the people of New York support their nightlife.

Join your neighbors for this important discussion with the New York State Liquor Authority.

Election Day is Here - Tuesday November 3rd!!!

Now is the time to make sure those elected officials who support a vibrant and safe nightlife industry get reelected. In addition, one of the new candidates we supported in the primary, Karen Koslowitz, won her primary and now needs your vote in the general election in her Queens District.  So take a look at the list below of NPC's endorsed candidates and vote for them on Tuesday. This may be an historically low voter turnout election, so your vote really counts!

Primary Election Day is Here - Tuesday September 15th!!!
Now, more than ever, it is a critical time for nightlife patrons, employees, owners, sympathizers and their families to stand up and help preserve our nighttime economy and nightlife culture here in the City That Never Sleeps.  We are under attack from the  "Not in my backyard" residents (the NIMBYS) who want to turn our Big Apple into Cleveland on the Hudson. Now you can do something to make your voice heard.  Not satisfied with their assault on Manhattan, they are now turning down licenses in Williamsburg and other areas of Brooklyn as well as in Queens.  No neighborhood is safe.

We have identified a few critical races with candidates who have a history of being pro small business and friendly to the concerns of responsible nightlife.  These primaries in effect decide the election because whoever wins the primary generally wins the election in November.  So the primary is the key voting day (unless there is a "run-off"...in that case, we'll update you).

Support and vote for these candidates:
Now is the time to stand up and make a difference to help preserve nightlife. Please do your part.

David Yassky for Comptroller
Eric Gioia for Public Advocate
Bob Zuckerman for Council (Brooklyn's 39th)
Karen Koslowitz for Council (Queens 29th)

In addition to the above four key races, please get out and vote for the following elected officials who are seeking reelection if you live in their districts:

Manhattan
Borough President Scott Stringer
City Council Member Chris Quinn
City Council Member Gail Brewer
City Council Member Jessica Lappin
City Council Member Dan Garodnick

Queens
City Council Member James Gennaro
City Council Member Peter Vallone, Jr.
City Council Member Leroy Comrie

Staten Island
Council Member Jimmy Oddo

Your vote will count.
YOU can influence the outcome of these local elections just as large numbers of us did nationally last year by voting, volunteering if you have the time, donating some dollars to these campaigns so that they can get their message out, and by sending this email alert to your email lists.

We endorse these candidates because they support nightlife and a vibrant nighttime economy.
