SUMMARY:At the Grassroots: Urban Gardening as Politics
DESCRIPTION:Cities have long been vilified as unhealthy\, crime-infested\, and chaotic – or\, as Thomas Jefferson once described them\, “pestilential to the morals\, the health and the liberties of man.”  Parklands and gardens\, green-spaces and fire-escape flower beds are viewed as mitigators of urban malaise\, making livable and attractive the “unnatural” environments of cities.  Yet gardens are not neutral territories.  They advance political agendas and critique others.  They can be sites of resistance\, as well as tools of social control.  This panel explores the politics of the urban garden\, past and present\, in American\, German\, and Austrian contexts.  It accompanies the Deutsches Haus exhibit\,”Urban Agriculture and Modern Housing in Austria: Health\, Food\, and Labor in the Cooperative Settlement\, 1903-1933\,” curated by Sophie Hochhäusl and on view from April 20 to May 10\, 2015. \nDeutsches Haus\, 42 Washington Mews @ University Place \nNote: The exhibit will open at 6:30pm; the panel will start at 7pm. \nPanelists: \nSophie Hochhäusl\, History of Architecture and Urbanism\, Cornell University \nAndrew Newman\, Assistant Professor\, Anthropology\, Wayne State University \nWilliam LoSasso\, Executive Director\, La Plaza Cultural Community Garden \nHillary Angelo\, Sociology\, NYU (moderator) \nThis event is sponsored by Deutsches Haus at NYU and co-sponsored by the Urban Democracy Lab.

SUMMARY:Lunch4Learning Press Conference with City Council and Public Advocate
DESCRIPTION:As we reach the final stretch in the budget process we need your support to ensure universal free lunch is expanded to all students. \nPress conference with the City Council and Public Advocate \nPlease join us at Tweed Courthouse  (52 Chambers Street) Wednesday\, May 27th\, 2015 at 11:45 AM–the day before the Council Education Committee budget hearing. \nMiddle School Success \nIn the first months of middle school implementation we have seen 10\,000 additional middle school students eating school lunch each day (15\,000 in February). This is a clear and significant initial success. \nThe Mayor’s response \nDespite this early success\, the Mayor did not include expansion in the Executive budget and stated that the middle school initiative yielded “mixed results”. \nThe potential impact of citywide universal is enormous — 10\,000 more middle school students are eating each day — and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
