We part- ner with community groups and neighborhood coalitions, and in the process we multiply our collective capacity to address the problems of underrepresented New Yorkers. We partner with advocacy groups and other legal services providers, and along the way we strengthen the litigation and advocacy we conduct on behalf of our clients. At the heart of our strategy of partnering for justice is our community lawyering approach. We call it community lawyering because it begins and ends with community concerns. Our role is to advocate, educate, organize, and lit- igate in support of community members’ vision for themselves.

  • Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
    VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society.

  • 2016 Conference Program
    Image “Destiny” by Deanna Oyafemi Lowman MOYO ~ BIENVENIDOS ~ E KAABO ~ AKWABAA BYENVENI ~ BEM VINDOS ~ WELCOME Welcome to the fourth conference of the African and Diasporic Religious Studies Association! ADRSA was conceived during a forum of scholars and scholar- practitioners of African and Diasporic religions held at the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School in October 2011 and the idea was solidified during the highly successful Sacred Healing and Wholeness in Africa and the Americas symposium held at Harvard in April 2012. Those present at the forum and the symposium agreed that, as with the other fields with which many of us are affiliated, the expansion of the discipline would be aided by the formation of an association that allows researchers to come together to forge relationships, share their work, and contribute to the growing body of scholarship on these rich traditions. We are proud to be the first US-based association dedicated exclusively to the study of African and Diasporic Religions and we look forward to continuing to build our network throughout the country and the world. Although there has been definite improvement, Indigenous Religions of all varieties are still sorely underrepresented in the academic realms of Religious and Theological Studies. As a scholar- practitioner of such a tradition, I am eager to see that change. As of 2005, there were at least 400 million people practicing Indigenous Religions worldwide, making them the 5th most commonly practiced class of religions. Taken alone, practitioners of African and African Diasporic religions comprise the 8th largest religious grouping in the world, with approximately 100 million practitioners, and the number continues to grow.

Ironically, the lie made him one of the most trustworthy lawmakers in New York. “With the amount of supervision he was under from the very beginning, there was no person less likely to be cor- rupt in Albany than Nelson Castro,” said Castro’s lawyer, Michael C. Farkas. Before becoming the first Dominican elected official from the Bronx, rising to a leadership position on immigra- tion issues in the state Assembly and becoming a star in a federal corruption case against fellow Bronx assemblyman Eric Stevenson, Castro stood accused of voter fraud. Case Vanishes In the summer of 2008, Mike Soto, one of Castro’s oppo- nents in the race for the 86th assembly district, which in- cludes parts of Fordham and University Heights, brought a general objection to his collection of registered voters who had a signed his petition to get on the ballot for the fall pri- mary.
