Most recent news from the Gen-Why on-line pettition:

The #SaveTheWaldorf petitions have reached 13,500 supporters! In response, Mayor Gregor Robertson put out a statement tasking city staff to meet with the giant condo developer, Solterra Group, and Waldorf Productions.

This is a big step in the right direction but the Waldorf, as we know it, is still slated to be shut down by January 20th!

Waldorf Productions must be given the opportunity to sign a long-term lease if it is to be saved.

The more people speak out now the greater our impact will be. A strong public outcry from our community and pressure from the City of Vancouver can force Solterra Group to negotiate with Waldorf Productions.

Here’s how you can help right now:

*Share the #SaveTheWaldorf petition - http://chn.ge/VU7NOr - with anyone you know who loves art, community, music and Vancouver. The more people who join us the stronger our impact will be.

*Our goal is to reach 20,000 supporters by Monday.

*Attend the Waldorf Love-In @the Waldorf Hotel today (Sunday) 2pm-5pm. All are welcome.

Help us spread the word. More actions to come.

Thanks for being a part of this.
