SUMMARY:Climate Change Planning Workshop for West Harlem & Washington Heights / Inwood
DESCRIPTION:From weact.org \nWe all know that our communities are incredibly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change\, and that changes to the environment will only worsen the socio-economic inequalities that the poor\, working class\, and communities of color already suffer from. In order to make sure that NYC’s response to climate change addresses these issues of environmental justice\, we would like to invite you to a series of participatory workshops where we will be developing a climate action plan for Northern Manhattan. \nAt the workshops\, happening on April 4th and 11th\, we will be exploring the future environmental and social impacts of climate change on Northern Manhattan\, while also developing a long-term strategy for mitigating those impacts on local communities that suffer disproportionately from environmental pollution. In other words\, the workshops are an opportunity to learn about the challenges that hurricanes and heat waves will present\, while also creating our own vision for a clean environment\, fair economy\, and a city where communities are valued\, not exploited. \nIf you are interested in participating in this discussion about environmental justice and climate change\, please RSVP for the workshops listed below: \nWorkshop in West Harlem & Washington Heights / Inwood\nSaturday\, April 4 // 9:30am – 2:30pm\nMary McLeod Bethune Senior Center\, 1970 Amsterdam Ave (at 158th Street)\nRSVP here \nWorkshop in East Harlem and Central Harlem\nSaturday\, April 11 // 9:30am – 2:30pm\nHenry J.

SUMMARY:Participatory Budgeting
DESCRIPTION:How does participatory budgeting work? \nLast fall\, district residents like you came to neighborhood assemblies to identify community needs and suggest projects. Then\, volunteers joined delegate committees to develop those suggestions into project proposals\, and worked with city agencies to estimate project costs. They put together the proposals you will vote on today. \nNow is your chance to vote for the projects you think should get funded. The projects with the most votes will be included in next year’s city budget\, to be built or implemented over the next few years. \nYou’ll get to enjoy the improvements you help make happen. And hopefully\, you’ll be a part of future participatory budgeting efforts in the city! \nParticipating Members \nManhattan \nCorey Johnson (District 3)\nBen Kallos (District 5)\nMark Levine (District 7)\nSpeaker Melissa Mark-Viverito (District 8)\nYdanis Rodriguez (District 10)\nHelen Rosenthal (District 6) \nBrooklyn \nDavid Greenfield (District 44)\nBrad Lander (District 39)\nSteve Levin (District 33)\nCarlos Menchaca (District 38)\nAntonio Reynoso (District 34)\nMark Treyger (District 47)\nJumaane D.

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.
