Friends,
Here are three great chances to say no to budget cut proposals made by Paterson and Bloomberg which would:
* Slash our Transportation – eliminating vital bus lines such as the Q74 & M8; closing subway lines and booths; slowing weekend and nightime service
* Fire thousands of City workers – In total 30,000 jobs would be eliminated
* Damage our Education system – broad array of cuts to after-school programs, mentoring, janitorial services…
* Cut funding to services for the elderly, homeless, disabled…
* Damage our quality of life by de-funding the Zoos, museums, cultural works and workers

3 Benefit Performances of:
Howard Zinn’s “Marx In Soho”
Starring Jerry Levy – http://www.levyarts.com
Marx is Back! The premise of this witty and insightful “play on history” is that Karl Marx has agitated with the authorities of the afterlife for a chance to clear his name. Through a bureaucratic error, Marx is sent to Soho in New York, rather than his old stomping ground in London, to make his case.
