On April 17 (6-8PM) & April 18 (9AM-3PM), CUNY Law Review is hosting a two-day symposium titled "The City is Ours: Law, Direct Democracy, and Radical Municipalism in NYC." At this symposium, we will explore how communities in New York City can reimagine governance at the municipal level—from tenant unions and mutual aid, to participatory budgeting and neighborhood assemblies—and examine what role legal advocates can play in building and sustaining community power. In the wake of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory, we hope to build on the years of mutual aid, tenant organizing, and popular mobilization in response to deepening inequality and state inaction that made this moment possible. As such, we have dedicated our symposium to collectively imagining a world in which cities serve as sites of shared governance, material security, and democratic participation. Join us as we gather scholars, activists, and attorneys at the forefront of this discussion, and share your own voice as we chart a new path forward for NYC! 👉 Follow us for updates: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cunylawreview LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cuny-law-review
