Lead Now's letter stopping Brookfield temporarily.
Dear friends,
You’ve helped win an amazing victory for democracy in New York. You were one of the 8,000 Canadians who joined together last night to tell Brookfield Asset Management to respect the democratic rights of the protesters. This morning, Brookfield backed down - temporarily withdrawing the threat of eviction.
Now we need to secure the victory by
asking them to publicly commit to respect the rights of the protesters:
At a minimum, as Canadians, we ask Brookfield Asset Management to publicly state that it supports the right of the protesters to:
1. Continue occupying Zuccotti Park without interference.
2. Supply themselves with the minimum requirements for safety and sanitation: such as toilets, showers, tents, warm bedding and other necessities that they decide they require.
Click here to send a message to secure the victory and check out the inspiring video of the Occupy Wall Street protesters learning that Brookfield backed down, and an on-the-scene update from Tria Donaldson:

Once you’re done - we’re going to need your help to make this go viral and reach as many people as possible. Check your inbox after you send the message to Brookfield, shortly afterwards there will be a thank you note that will ask you to forward an email to everyone that you think would be interested, asking them to join you in calling on Brookfield to make a public statement.
Those tell-a-friend emails make a huge difference. Let’s flood Brookfield’s executives right now.
Thank you! How good does this feel?
With hope and respect,
Jamie, Matthew, Tria, Emma, Adam and Ryan on behalf of the Leadnow.ca team
