President's Report
By Daniele Gerard
WE WON!
Three Parks can be very proud of our contributions toward ending authoritarianism: thousands of postcards on behalf of candidates in New York and Michigan; sidewalk tabling during early voting, on street corners, and at street fairs; and multiple trips to canvass in nearby districts.
At our upcoming club meeting, the last in 2026, we will hear from Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal and NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman, who will regale us with what’s possible in the next two years.
And mark your calendars now for the annual Three Parks holiday party on Sunday, December 13 from 5 to 8 PM at the Youth Hostel. We look forward to seeing you then.
Let’s keep up the good work!
Onward!

Celebrating Our Election Victory!
Thanks to Everyone Who Campaigned, Canvassed, Wrote Postcards to Voters, and Got Out the Vote!
| | |
Democrats are winners in the 2026 General Election, and Three Parks members campaigned tirelessly to gain this victory.
Many thanks to all the volunteers who handed out flyers at our sidewalk tables, wrote postcards to hundreds of voters, talked to friends and neighbors, and knocked on voters' doors in New Jersey, Long Island, and upstate!
Here are some scenes from the campaign.

(above) On Saturday, Oct. 17, TPID members met at the 96th St subway to attend the No Kings Day Rally in Washington Square Park. The focus of the rally was on the importance of early voting and GOTV. We heard speeches by the Rev. Al Sharpton, Public Advocate Jumaane Wiliams, and others. Despite the cold, windy weather people brought signs and greeted the speakers with enthusiasm. We were glad that we attended. -- Board member Irene Shrier

Our thanks and appreciation to Lynn and Steve Max (shown above), Lorraine Zamora, Mary Ann Marks, Billy Smith, and Corinne Constantine, as well as dozens of Three Parks postcard writers.
