Dear Neighbor Email
Below is a template email that you can use to ask your friends and neighbors to vote for Akiva.
Dear Neighbor,
I am writing to ask you to support Akiva Leibowitz, a candidate for School Committee in the upcoming election on Tuesday, May 6th, 2025.
Three months into the Trump administration, our essential liberties are under attack. We need leadership that is committed to protecting free speech and freedom to teach alongside critical inquiry and inclusivity; that sees through complex issues; and that is prepared to listen carefully, diagnose accurately, and solve problems skillfully.
That is why I am asking you to join me in supporting Akiva Leibowitz.
Akiva is a critical care physician at Beth Israel and a Brookline parent of four who has lived in the town for the past 10 years. Outside of medicine, he is also a co-founder and former board chair of Hajar Bilingual Jewish-Arab School, one of the very few equitable K-12 institutions in Israel/Palestine, where he learned a thing or two about creating, supporting, and protecting a public educational institution in a highly constrained environment.
His priorities include:
- Meeting every student’s needs
- Trusting teachers
- Helping students become freethinking, curious citizens of this world by advancing inclusivity, compassion, and social justice
He has been endorsed by Brookline Equity Coalition; Brookline Peace Coalition; and TMMs Bonnie Bastien, Andrew Fischer, and Martha Gray, among others.
You can visit him online at http://akivaforbrookline.com.
I hope you will consider voting for him.
Your friend,
[YOUR NAME]
