From the Lo-Down:
“The awards recognize community members who are “unsung” heroes, in spite of their meaningful contributions to the life of the neighborhood….as part of LES History Month…”
Neighbors to Save Rivington House is one of the ‘heroes’ being awarded (use the link to the Lo-Down above for the other terrific people/organizations being honored).
From N2SaveRH Facebook page:
“We accept in the name of all of the evicted residents, all the elders who are not able to find a place to live that could provide the care they need now, and on behalf of the staff who, with the residents, built a beautiful home here.”
‘Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.‘ – Vaclav Havel
