Social dancing is illegal in NYC. NYC's Cabaret Law is a tool of discrimination enforced today against NYC's most vulnerable. Overflow New York City Council Chambers to #LetNYCDance. REPEAL THE RACIST 1926 'NO DANCING' CABARET LAW NOW. History is watching! Get off work. Tell everyone. This tool of discrimination has no place in our civil society. FREE TSHIRTS AT 1PM This hearing is the critical history-changing event. Your body in the room, your voice makes the difference. Extra Credit: Tell your story during the hearing. 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. 📞 Pre-Hearing BONUS 📞 Call your New York City Council Member 212-788-7210: "Sign #LetNYCDance Bill #1652. Repeal NYC's racist 1926 'No Dancing' Cabaret Law." END NYC's "No Dancing" Cabaret Law - Created in 1926 to halt interracial dancing in jazz clubs. - Giuliani used in the '90s to shut down gay bars and decimate culture. - Today there are no legal community spaces to dance in most of NYC's neighborhoods and fewer than 100 licensed spaces in all five boroughs. - Arbitrary enforcement creates discrimination today. - Social dancing is a fundamental cultural expression. - I love to dance. It shouldn't be illegal. Tell Your Story: - The value of New York’s constantly emerging new social dance cultures. Mambo and Hip-Hop are among NYC’s contributions to the world. - The grave loss of community spaces, the broad impact. - The frightening first-hand experience of being raided at an event. - The need for progressive New Yorkers to act now and protect the NYC’s status as a cultural safe space, before conservative eras again use the Cabaret Law as a discriminatory tool to decimate cultures. - The dance law is used a “Trojan horse” to get enforcement through the door giving vulnerable communities no safe spaces. - How blanket criminalization of community spaces *for dancing* breaks trust with city government, forcing communities away from life-saving safety resources.
