We plan to assemble at the United Nations and march to Central Park. We have invited the major labor, religious, peace-loving and human rights leaders of South Africa to address the rally and give testimony to the struggle of their people. We call this rally in the spirit of firm solidarity, bearing in mind our responsibility to reverse the Reagan Administra­ tion's immoral support of the Botha regime. Such support of the South African government can only serve to prolong the agonies, suffering and killing of a people who are determined to win their freedom and win it now. Reflecting our people's repugnance at the system of apartheid, we intend to demonstrate that the people of the United States are solidly in support of majority rule in South Africa and demand that our government apply all necessary political, economic and cultural sanctions against this despotic regime. We, hereby, call upon all people of good will to participate in guaranteeing the success of the June 14th March and Rally for the freedom of the South African people and all the oppressed people of southern Africa. Keeping in mind that their freedom is our freedom, and injustice anywhere affects justice everywhere.

  • In the News – State Governor Breaks Ground on New Belmont Park Arena
    This Week In New York/Page 1 This Week in New York Covering New York State and City Government A Publication of Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC September 27, 2019 Edition Shanah Tovah from Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC In the News – State Governor Breaks Ground on New Belmont Park Arena Governor Andrew Cuomo joined the New York Islanders, National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman, local leaders and hockey fans to break ground on the New York Islanders' new arena at Belmont Park, the centerpiece of the $1.3 billion Belmont Park Redevelopment. In addition, Governor Cuomo announced the team has agreed to play 28 regular season games at the Nassau Veteran's Memorial Coliseum during the 2019-2020 season, seven more than previously planned. {00665744.DOCX / }Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC, 111 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York. (518) 449-3320 Theresa Cosgrove, editor, [email protected] This Week In New York/Page 2 "The Islanders belong on Long Island — and today we start building the state-of-the-art home this team and their fans deserve while generating thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity for the region's economy," Governor Cuomo said. "With seven more Islanders games at the Coliseum this season, fans will have even more opportunities to see their favorite team and generate momentum for the move to their new home in two years. At the end of the day this project is about building on two great Long Island traditions - Belmont Park and the Islanders - and making them greater than ever." Announced in December 2017, the Belmont Redevelopment Project will turn 43 acres of underutilized parking lots at Belmont Park into a premier sports and hospitality destination, including a new 19,000-seat arena for the New York Islanders hockey team and other events, a 250-key hotel, a retail village and office and community space.

  • It's Showtime
    : THE DETAILS TO DELIVER: SCOTT STRINGER’S MAYORAL PLANS Volume 8 It’s Showtime: A 25-Point Plan to Revive Arts and Culture in New York City and Build a More Equitable Future May 6, 2021 IT’S SHOWTIME: A 25-Point Plan to Revive Arts and Culture in New York City and Build a More Equitable Future EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There’s no place like New York City when it comes to arts and culture. From our world-class museums, to the bright lights of Broadway, to local DIY venues, to trailblazing artists and companies, the five boroughs represent the artistic center of the country and perhaps the world. It is where Abstract Expressionism and minimalist art, bebop, hip hop, and salsa, modern dance, modern ballet, break dancing, and voguing were born — and where every corner of every neighborhood is bustling with creativity and culture. New York City’s ecosystem of artists, educators, craftsmen, media, philanthropy -- and yes, audience members -- are unmatched anywhere in the world. And yet it is precisely this interconnected network that has been so existentially threatened by COVID-19 and the profound job losses the pandemic wrought after cultural venues were forced to shutter more than a year ago. Scott Stringer understands that New York City is all but defined by its arts and culture, and as mayor he will lead the charge to bring back the creative sector. Today, more than one year after the first Broadway stages closed their doors, the city’s cultural workers and cultural sector are still struggling and need a robust plan to not only recover, but to build a more vibrant, enriching, inclusive, diverse, STRINGER FOR MAYOR | MAY 6, 2021 2 populist, and daring cultural sector than ever before.

The typical list of organizations includes, inter alia, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Urban League, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. What are almost never included in this list are African American collegiate-based fraternities.

  • Year in Review 2020 – 2021
    YEAR IN REVIEW 2020 – 2021 THE GARMENT DISTRICT ALLIANCE 1 WELCOME BACK Like most of Midtown, the Garment District faced new challenges this past year. Pedestrian counts were well below normal, as office tenants predominantly worked from home and ground floor businesses remained closed or limited their hours. Reduced activity impacted public safety and affected the ways in which we typically measure success. However, the Garment District Alliance was never more important to the neighborhood than it was this year. Despite the pandemic, our office never closed, as our dedicated staff continued to provide critical public safety and sanitation services. We worked closely with the West Midtown community, our neighboring BIDs, and the City of New York to tackle quality of life issues. We supported our local companies through social media promotions and business development initiatives, and we pushed forward with important streetscape, horticulture, and public art projects. In short, we kept the Garment District ready for business, while laying the groundwork for the years ahead. Today, we are happy to report that a slow but steady stream of employees is returning to the neighborhood. We are thankful for all the resilient companies of the Garment District, several of whom we celebrate in the pages of this report. Whether they have returned to the neighborhood or can’t wait to come back, our diverse businesses community is what will continue to make the Garment District a vibrant part of Midtown. Recovery has begun. We look forward to everyone getting back to business. Barbara A. Blair Martin Meyer President Chair 2 NEIGHBORHOOD PROMOTION 3 Doggy Bags A series of gigantic, playful dog companions took center stage on Broadway from September to Thanksgiving.
