[videoblogging] Fwd: [j2000] Media advisory for NYC

2010-04-05 Thread Irina

*Hi: I hope you can come and cover this event Thursday, April 8 at Bryant
Park. *

** **

**

*SUNY Empire State College*

“Let Them Eat Cake!”

**

We ARE going to eat cake – to celebrate an important event in the history of
the United States and New York City.



On Thursday, April 8, at 3.30 P.M., we’ll gather at Bryant Park to celebrate
the 75th anniversary of the Works Progress Administration, which President
Roosevelt and his New Deal administration launched in 1935 – in the middle
of the Great Depression – to create jobs for millions of Americans.



Come join the party, eat the cake, and say:

*Happy 75th Birthday, WPA!*

**

*What*: 75th birthday party of Works Progress Administration (WPA)

*Where*: Bryant Park, 6th Avenue between 42nd and 41st Streets, New York

*When*: Thursday, April 8, 3.30-5.30 P.M.

*Host*: The Harry Van Arsdale Jr. Center for Labor Studies, Empire State
College, 325 Hudson Street, New York, NY 10013

*Background Information for media and journalists*

FDR set aside $77 million WPA money for New York City in 1935. That
translates to $1.2 billion today!!



*Question*: How many unemployed New Yorkers will $1.2 billion employ now?



*Answer*:

48,000 para-educators at $25,000 a year

20,000 constructor workers, police officers or assistant professors at
$60,000 a year

10,000 middle-aged managers at $120,000 a year

(The $1.2 billion also translates to only one percent of bank bonuses only
for 2009)



*We say: It’s time for another New Deal. It’s time for another WPA.*

**

Create jobs for New York’s working people. Create jobs at a living wage.
Just the way FDR did it in 1935.

 *Contact: Dr. Michael Merrill: (646)-230-1346; Partha Banerjee:
(646)-230-1477*

*Why Bryant Park*? Because the park itself, along with schools, libraries,
hospitals, roads, buildings, airports, art projects and sculpture in New
York were all created with the WPA money during the Great Depression era!
Millions were employed.
