NYC Council District 45 Special Election Questionnaire About Us Launched in 2017, Voters For Animal Rights (VFAR) is a New York based 501c(4) grassroots multi-issue animal advocacy organization that is building political power for animals. Our mission is to elect candidates who support animal protection, lobby for stronger laws to stop animal cruelty, and hold elected officials accountable to humane voters. VFAR mobilizes public concern for animals through the political process. We know that animal protection is not only a moral issue but a bi-partisan political issue as well. Over 90% of Americans believe that animals need protection from abuse and exploitation. To that end, we organize humane voters to support candidates that care about animals. If you support animals, then we want to support you! There are over 60,000 humane voters throughout New York state, hundreds of which are volunteers for VFAR who are ready to knock on doors, make phone calls and get out the vote to elect people that will stand up for animals. We deliver the vote – for the animals and for you. As an example, here is our animal-friendly voter guide from the NYC Special Election for Public Advocate. Endorsement Process Candidates seeking our endorsement for the NYC Council District 45 Special Election are required to fill out this questionnaire and submit to [email protected] by Friday, April 26.

  • 30,000 Homes for Homeless New Yorkers
    30,000 Homes for Homeless New Yorkers Mayor Bill de Blasio City Hall New York, NY 10007 Dear Mayor de Blasio: As fellow elected officials working to build a better New York City for all, we applaud your administration’s efforts to address the city’s ongoing homelessness crisis. However, with a record 63,000 people – including nearly 24,000 children – sleeping in shelters each night, it is clear that more must be done. We must use every available tool at our disposal to reduce the number of New Yorkers relegated to shelters and the streets, and so we are asking the City to double the number of deeply subsidized affordable housing units targeted specifically to families and individuals in shelters. Your Housing New York 2.0 plan commits to creating or preserving an ambitious 300,000 units of affordable housing. Unfortunately, only 15,000 of those units will be dedicated for homeless households – a paltry 5 percent. Furthermore, most of the 15,000 set-aside units in your current plan will be preserved units, not new construction, and thus will not be available for homeless families until they become vacant, which could be years. HPD predicts no more than a few hundred units will be available for occupancy by homeless families in each year of the Housing New York 2.0 plan. With well over 15,000 families and more than 16,000 single adults sleeping in shelters each night, this is nowhere near the level of production necessary to meaningfully reduce record homelessness in New York City. In contrast, in the 1980s, when the shelter census was only a fraction of what it is today, Mayor Ed Koch created nearly 15,700 units of homeless housing – constituting more than 10 percent of the units in his 10-year plan.

  • Musicar: Otra Forma De Vivir La Música
    MUSICAR: OTRA FORMA DE VIVIR LA MÚSICA Maza, Sabina - Dávila Feinstein, Julieta - Eckmeyer, Martín Facultad de Bellas Artes. Universidad Nacional de La Plata Resumen La historia tradicional de la música, la historia de los estilos, considera que la música es un objeto, fundamentalmente un objeto de consumo, y es por ello que la partitura primero y la grabación después, son las obras de arte en sí mismas. Esta conceptualización tan rígida del arte, deja fuera del relato un sin número de prácticas musicales, porque anteponen la obra compuesta por el compositor que es considerado un genio, cuya obra es mancillada por los intérpretes, los sirvientes de la música (Cook, 2001). Sin embargo, ir a un recital, sucumbir al ritual de poner un cd, bailar, componer e interpretar, son acciones que remiten a otra acción más amplia que el hecho de componer y/o tocar, global: musicar (Small, 1998). En este sentido, entendemos que hacer música implica una acción o un conjunto de acciones más complejas, con participación abierta, donde el público pasa a formar parte de esa experiencia, así como todos los que hacen posible un evento o una grabación y participan activamente del mismo, más que objeto, una vivencia: to musicking. Palabras Clave: Historiografía musical - Obra de arte – Musicar – Transmedia – Público. De objeto de museo al verbo infinitivo La historia tradicional de la música, la historia de los estilos, considera que la música es un objeto, fundamentalmente un objeto de consumo.
