From the Bowery Alliance of Neighbors:
Please sign the petition to save 35 Cooper Square from demolition and to push for landmark designation. This wonderful Federal-style house is one of the oldest buildings left on Cooper Square. In addition to its architectural significance, its important historical and cultural associations range from a direct descendant of Peter Stuyvesant to the building's much later habitation by Diane DiPrima, the most influential woman of the Beat Generation. This much-beloved little building has been both a significant participant and a surviving witness to New York City history for almost 200 years! Under the stipulations of the Landmarks Law, it qualifies on architectural, historical and cultural criteria for designation as a NYC individual landmark. Losing this house would be a significant loss to the history of the East Village for both cultural and historical reasons.

Note: I was sent this by an activist and it included a link to a blogger which I removed. This blogger who does not use his real name -- ran around telling everyone I was his friend. Turns out he did some nasty things that made it clear he is no friend/ He than took my work, the exclusive I had of Love Saves the Day closing and copied it and took took credit posting a photo of my friend and subject Karen who I had covered for an extended period of time yet his first and only post of her was the very same photo I posted days later with a more expensive camera. He is involved with a blogger that the NYPD knows has stalked me, photographed me from behind without my knowledge, approved hate comments that were anti-semtiic and gay bashing and also given me gifts of his photos.
