  • Cooper Square Committee Chrono
    Cooper Square Committee Chrono A listing of Cooper Square events and activities - including victories and defeats - from March 1959 through March 2005. Prepared by: Walter Thabit, March, 2005 Planners Network Cooper Square Committee Municipal Art Society 61 East 4thStreet Planning Center New York, NY 10003 212 228-8210 COOPER SQUARE CHRONOLOGY The Cooper Square Chronology was initiated by Thelma Burdick in March, 1959, and recorded significant events up to March, 1968. For years, it was the bible of the organization, allowing us to keep the important dates straight. Unfortunately, it has never been updated till now, and it might still be waiting to happen if there hadn't been a renewed interest in the Cooper Square story. Writers and advocate planners have interviewed old timers like myself and Frances Goldin, and after hearing of an interesting incident, then ask, "And what year was that?" Too often I didn't have a clue. So I finally decided to bring the chronology up-to-date. It has been hard work, but worth every minute. I'm not the only contributor to a chronology of events. Marci Reaven, doing a PhD. dissertation on Cooper Square has also put one together for her personal use, and I have used it to fill out some uncertain items as well as a few whose significance I missed. Also, Valerio Orselli, Cooper Square's Director for over 20 years prepared a specialized chronology of 40 membership meetings held around the issue of the rehabilitation program, the Mutual Housing Association, and the revised Cooper Square Plan. It is included here, starting in November, 1984, running through April, 1993.

Winters for reviewing, editing, correcting and making suggestions for improving the manuscript. Thanks also to Esther Ginsberg, Secretary to the New York City City Planning Commission, who filled in a key fact. And thanks to all those who appear in these pages, the men and women who made up Planners for Equal Opportunity. 1 THE HISTORY OF PLANNERS FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY SUfrMARY, HIGHLIGHTS, AND TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Page i THE GENESIS OF PLANNERS FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY page 1 In May/June 1964, METCOP (the Metropolitan Committee on Planning), sponsored an exciting meeting on rent strikes by blacks and Puerto Ricans on the Lower East Side and Harlem. Out of that meeting came the impetus for starting Planners for Equal Opportunity. It was officially launched on August 17, 1964, at the AIP (American Institute of Planners) convention at the Military Park Hotel in Newark. A 16 member Policy Committee was established, dues were set at $5, and away we went! ORGANIZING AND ACTION, 1965 page 3 PEO's proposed 1965 budget was $2, 450; anticipated deficit: $800. " Addressograph plates for our 100+ membership were completed in April. A proposed constitution was submitted for approval to the Policy Committee. The New York Metropolitan Chapter of PEO was organized and began issuing reports on education and housing. Tom Gale was hired by the Urban League to do fair housing research for the NY Chapter.

  • From “Gentrification” to Community Control: an Exploration Into Urban Restructuring in New York City
    From “Gentrification” to Community Control: An exploration into urban restructuring in New York City by Aida Mas supervised by Dr. Luisa Sotomayor A Portfolio submitted to the Faculty of Environmental Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of in Environmental Studies York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada July 31, 2019 Land Acknowledgement For over 15,000 years, Turtle Island has been stewarded collectively by Indigenous communities. In fact, it was not so long ago that colonization imposed the concept of private ownership of land on what settlers perceived as Terra nullius, or “nobody’s land.” This idea – that collectively stewarded land belonged to nobody – ultimately allowed colonial powers to usurp land from Indigenous communities through the imposition of private property. This legacy of extractive dispossession continues to shape our society and relationship to land. From where I sit today on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, to the occupied Lenape land where most of this research took place, Indigenous communities have been systematically displaced and extirpated from their land. The land which York University occupies is no exception, having been home to the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Huron-Wendat, the Métis, and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation. These Indigenous Nations have been stewarding land through agreements such as the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which aims to share and preserve the natural life and harmony of the Great Lakes region. My awareness of the importance of stewardship began far from my own ancestral territories of the Iberian Peninsula and the Middle East.

  • Land Trusts-Nyc4-14
    by Oksana Mironova April 29th, 2014, http://urbanomnibus.net/2014/04/the-value-of-land-how-community-land- trusts-maintain-housing-affordability. Affordable housing is on New York City’s mind. A critical mass of civic organizations, academic institutions, city agencies, advocacy groups, and others are pondering the essential and perennial issue of how to ensure that the city becomes affordable for the extraordinarily diverse population that makes it work. What’s more, the conversation is riding a new wave of perceived political support from the de Blasio administration, which has tapped leading academics and esteemed private and public sector figures to deliver on its ambitious promise to build or preserve 200,000 units of affordable housing in ten years. With the details of the Mayor’s plan due to be released May 1st, we will undoubtedly be hearing a great deal of commentary about policy and implementation — development sites, low-income housing tax credits, preservation, NYCHA reforms — for weeks to come. At the same time, a decades-old strategy to maintain housing affordability is finding a groundswell of support from an increasingly diverse group of stakeholders. A community land trust (CLT) is an alternative model that separates the ownership of property from the ownership of the land on which that property is built. In effect, organized citizens remove land from the private, speculative market where its value is difficult to control. Below, housing advocate Oksana Mironova charts the origins of this approach, explaining how it has become an appealing solution to problems affecting communities across the country. In so doing, Mironova touches on the current effort underway to bring a new CLT pilot project to East Harlem as well as the adaptations that would allow a traditionally hyper-local and community-driven project to scale up to the city-wide level.

  • Imagine: Living in a Socialist USA
    Imagine: living in a socialist USA “We go forward to preserve the air and land and water and sky and all the beasts that crawl and fly. We go forward to safeguard the right to speak and write, to join, to learn, to rest, safe at home, to be secure, fed, healthy, sheltered, loved and loving, to be at peace with our identity.” Lynne Stewart ۞۞۞ Imagine: living in a socialist USA Editors: Frances Goldin, Debby Smith, Michael Steven Smith HarperCollins Publishers, New York, 2014 ISBN: 978-0-06-230557-2 ۞۞۞ 1 Debby Smith and Michael Steven Smith; New York, 2012 “This book was Frances Goldin’s idea. She said to us, “I’m eighty-eight years old. I want to do two things before I die: get Mumia Abu-Jamal out of prison and edit a book about what America might be like if it were socialist.” It is one thing to criticize what is – that’s easy. But to imagine what might be is not. Even Karl Marx didn’t attempt it. But things have changed since the mid-nineteenth century – for better and for worse. We certainly know where things are heading. Rosa Luxemburg proposed two stark choices just after the imperialist slaughter that was World War I: socialism or barbarism. Given the catastrophe of climate change, the ongoing economic upheaval, and the risk of nuclear annihilation, it’ll be barbarism – if we’re lucky. […] The book is divided into three parts. The first is an indictment of American capitalism. The second part is intended to inspire hope: to imagine what life in America would be like if capitalism were overthrown.

Dear Friends, Welcome to Cooper Square Committee’s Annual Gala! Our theme is “Stand for Tenants Rights: Celebrating Affordable Housing Activists.” Cooper Square Committee has been in the forefront of New York City’s affordable housing 2015 victories. The economics of real estate ownership have changed in recent years. “Mom and Pop” landlords who owned one or two buildings are disappearing on the Lower East Side. Now we must organize to fight large corporations that own dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of buildings. As ownership changes, tenant organizing has had to match it.

    [The following article was published on Monthly Review’s Web site: http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/2014/thorstad220414.html.] Imagining Socialism David Thorstad Imagine: Living in a Socialist USA Edited by Frances Goldin, Debby Smith, and Michael Steven Smith HarperPerennial, 304 pp., $15.99 The need for socialism became clear to me more than fifty years ago when I was working as an orderly in the University of Minnesota Hospitals. One of the patients I was working with in Internal Medicine had advanced syphilis and was indigent. He owed the hospital a huge bill he’d never be able to pay off. They made him an offer he couldn’t refuse: if he agreed to undergo an experimental treatment, they would forgive his bill. What made it all the more poignant was that his wife was hospitalized in a different wing at that very moment, and they were not able to consult or communicate. Meanwhile, another patient, well-to-do, underwent cardiac arrest, and the nurses began attempts to resuscitate her by chest compressions. The head nurse rushed to stop them, saying that the woman had requested that no special efforts to keep her alive be made if she reached that point. This lesson in health care and class turned me into a vocal advocate for socialized medicine. Yet now, decades later, after several years of actual public discussion about the failures of the American health system, and “reform” of it by the president himself (giving a huge handout to the insurance industry and Wall Street, but keeping any mention of single-payer health care, let alone the S-word, “off the table”), Americans are still stuck with a lousy system.

  • Real Estate Weekly
    An all-star squad of developers is starting to see the results of teaming up to build a massive mixed-use development site within the Lower East Side. Essex Crossing is one of the city’s most comprehensive developments in recent history. The project brings together several developers and architects to build more than 1,000 new apartment units, 400,000 s/f of office space, and 450,000 s/f of retail space between nine different buildings. This new Lower East Side is roughly bordered by Ludlow Street to the west, Grand Street to the south, with some buildings stretching past Clinton and Rivington Streets. Several developers, including BFC Partners, L+M Development Partners, Taconic Investment Partners and The Prusik Group, the nonprofit Grand Street Settlement and banking giant Goldman Sachs, teamed up to offer what they consider the “quintessential live work play experience.” “Tenants today are looking for more than just a place to live, a place to work, or a place to shop,” said Charles Bendit, co-CEO of Taconic. “They’re looking for an environment, they’re looking for an experience in their workplace and their home and what we’re creating here is that experience.” For the live portion of the campus, Essex Crossing features The Essex at 125 Delancey Street and The Rollins at 145 Clinton Street, with 180 Broome Street coming in 2020. Each of the residential developments tries to differentiate itself, with The Essex offering entertainment and retail spaces on lower levels that include a 14-screen movie theater, and The Rollins offering a more traditional approach to luxury living.
