This hearing is the critical history-changing event, be a part of it. Your body in the room, your voice makes the difference. Extra Credit: Tell your story during the hearing and testify.
Five City Council Members will decide the fate of dancing and community spaces in New York City. Your presence in the room tips the vote.
Free t-shirts at 1pm. Show your solidarity with #LetNYCDance with your own pink t-shirt. City Council Members will look out onto the room to see a united group.
