Loft227

07/03/2017

As you know, with a leap of faith and a lot of love, Scott and I opened Loft227 in 2012, a shared collaborative space connecting like-minded entrepreneurs and artists under one roof. Our space became profitable in less than a year, and demand grew faster than we could have imagined. With only room for 75 seats, we had to turn away over 7000 incredible projects. Now, those projects will have a home. Town Stages will offer a larger audience capacity for World Premier Performances, Women’s Leadership Conferences, Film Festivals and… most importantly, a beautiful space to gather with family and friends on the most important day of their lives.

With your help, we can do more than imagine. We can build a dream. Please continue to be apart of our story by following Town Stages for future updates regarding our campaign to open our doors for you and friends.

We want to know what TOWN can do for you. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the space, Scott and I would love to hear from you. Check out our website at sokoloffarts.org. You can also email [email protected], or call (212) 634-7690 x703.

What's all this? This stack is but a sliver of the thousands of artists and creative professionals who've come to us in the past 3 years in need of space to develop their work. To Organize. To Fundraise. To Launch. To Celebrate.

We are meeting with The City this morning to fight like hell for you. To make more space for you. We hear you. We see you.

We know that at the root of every diversity problem in NYC is the space itself, and over 90 spaces like ours that support diversity of thought, culture, color, and creed, have been closed down.

We are not gonna take it. This stops with us.

We have put in offers to close to 200 buildings, and worked with close to 25 brokers.

We don't care how many NO's it's gonna take.

We just need one YES.

Wish us luck!

Stephen Bannon?! NO. SHUT IT DOWN!

Our doors are open this Wednesday anytime between 2pm - 8pm to make calls.

Let's do what we can to stop this. Here's a list of actions below. Please feel free to add to this, especially those of you with organizing experience.

1) If you live in the US, call your Representatives and Senators and tell them this is unacceptable.

2) Paul Ryan is feigning ignorance again. Call his office at (202) 225-3031 and let him know that this is not ok. Same with Majority Leader McConnell, (202) 224-2541.

3) Call out the media when they report the Bannon appointment as a straight news story or refer to him as a "Breitbart executive" or a "provocateur," but don't call him what he is: a white supremacist, anti-semite, misogynist. Don't let them normalize.

4) Where protests are ongoing, make this the focus, with signs, chants, etc. Next week we can turn out attention to other things. But for now let's focus like a laser on this.

5) Let's get religious groups on board; maybe even mainstream business groups, like the Chamber of Commerce (202-659-6000).

6) Contact other people of influence--College presidents, high-profile coaches and anyone else who has a public megaphone.
We can do this.
