New York City jazz musicians deserve a retirement like anyone else. Sign our petition to help them earn pension payments from NYC jazz clubs — at no cost to the clubs or musicians.

J4JA Petitioners Increase to over 800

June 26th, 2009

This week we received an unprecedented 300+ petitioners! Included are these folks:

  • James Spaulding
  • Judi Silvano
  • Chris Lightcap
  • Phil Woods
  • David Amram
  • Maxine Roach (daughter of Max)
  • Ed MacEachen
  • Mike LeDonne
  • Butch Miles
  • NY City Councilmember Eric Gioia (D-26, Queens)
  • Amiri Baraka
  • Stanley Crouch

If you haven’t yet done this, we urge you to sign the online petition — and please encourage your friends to do so as well.

This is not limited to musicians–it’s for fans, friends, and people who just like to see a little social justice now and again!

We also wrote letters to several local politicians, including David Dinkins and Charles Rangel. If you know a local elected official, encourage them to add their name to our list of Coalition Endorsers. They can this by signing the petition.

We have secured a spot for our rally in September. More later on this topic.
