A New Deal for New York City: Looking Back, Looking Forward

Please mark your calendars and make plans to attend the Living New Deal—New York City's first public program.

WHEN:	Tuesday, May 7, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
WHERE:	The Center for Architecture 536 LaGuardia Place, Manhattan (between West 3rd and Bleecker Streets) SEATING IS LIMITED

At a time when the Green New Deal is in the headlines and on the table, we aim to reacquaint our fellow New Yorkers with the original New Deal. How did a group of visionary reformers transform the city during that exceptional ten-year period? What can today's change-makers learn from their achievements? On May 7, a distinguished panel will address these questions and more.

Keynote speaker—historian, journalist, novelist, and political commentator Kevin Baker—will be joined by a panel of commentators that includes:

Gray Brechin, retired geography professor at University of California-Berkeley and co-founder of the Living New Deal
Marta Gutman, architectural and urban historian and a professor at the City College of New York's Spitzer School of Architecture and at the CUNY Graduate Center
Steven Attewell, author of People Must Live by Work: Direct Job Creation in America, from FDR to Reagan, who teaches public policy at CUNY's School for Labor and Urban Studies

Phoebe Roosevelt, a great-granddaughter of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, will offer welcoming remarks.

The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
