Ben and Jerry's are more than amazing ice cream makers, they donated it to support the art gallery last weekend and now they want to help you to race your voice:
The People’s Rights Amendment: S.J.Res. 18 / H.J.Res. 21
Free Speech For People supports two pairs of amendment bills; both pairs have been introduced in both the US Senate and the US House of Representatives in the 113th Congress:
S.J.Res. 18, introduced in the Senate by Senator Jon Tester (D-MT), and the identical H.J.Res. 21, by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), also known as the People’s Rights Amendment, make it clear that corporations do not have constitutional rights, as if they were people. H.J.Res. 21 has bi-partisan support in the House from Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC), along with many other co-sponsors. The text of these bills is below.
We also support a second pair, S.J.Res. 19, introduced by Senator Tom Udall (D-NM), and H.J.Res. 20, also introduced by Rep. McGovern, which we call the Political Equality Amendments. Although differently worded, these two bills have the same effect: they restore Congress’ and the states’ authority to limit campaign spending in all categories.
An online action page in support of both Senate bills is here. A petition and video in support of H.J.Res. 21 are available here.

2>>>>NYU Game Center Lecture Series presents
Clara Fernandez Vara
The Art of World Building
Thursday, March 6th, 7PM
2 Metrotech Center, 8th Floor
Exploring the possibilities of how narrative and games can be brought together is exciting and challenging in equal measure. Part of the difficulty derives from basic misunderstandings about how narrative works in other media, such as the idea of the passive audience, or the obsession with plot structure.
So let us shift our attention to world building, which is the key to integrating games and narrative. Through fictional worlds, we create opportunities for action, exploration and experimentation, which we can turn into game mechanics. As narrative designers, we can also leave gaps for the player to fill creatively, as well as provide tools for players to create their own stories. The opportunities for narrative design are as large as the universes that we can create for our games.
Please join us for NYU Game Center Professor Clara Fernandez-Vara’s March installment of the Lecture Series, “The Art of World Buidling”.
RSVP here. Free and open to the public.
