"Preserve Community Driven Spaces"
PREVENT CRIMINALIZATION
The criminalization and shutdown of spaces pushes our communities "underground" and into unsafe environments.
- Repeal the Cabaret Law (Permit for 3+ Dancing, #LetNYCDance)
- Transparency on MARCH (Multi-Agency Response to Community Hotspots, #ImproveDontEvict)
ACCESS TO SUPPORT
Independent creative communities are a thriving informal economy excluded from vital government and philanthropic support.
- Confidential Cultural Caseworkers (#ArtSpace311)
- Urgent Repairs Fund
PROMOTE AFFORDABILITY
Having artists and art spaces in the same building is economically essential.
- Expand the Loft Law
- Community Space Incubator
- Public Programming Facilities in Live-Work Spaces
