Sad News: The City of New York and its Parks department have denied the injunction against the new rules that will drastically limit the number of artists allowed to sell in New York’s Parks.
The good news: I WILL STILL BE SET UP THE FIRST DAY THE NEW RULES GO INTO EFFECT, ON MONDAY MORNING, JULY 19 IN PROTEST! PLEASE JOIN ME IN UNION SQUARE PARK TO FIGHT FOR THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND OUR CITY! t
(if you want to catch me before things get super-political, I will be out selling in Union Square Park on these last two days of “legal” sales, this Saturday and Sunday, July 17-18)
I also stronlgly encourage you to still mouth off to the city:
