New Movement Goals Announced
A re-design of our Free Speech Artists’ Movement goal is announced. Instead of organizing 1,000 artists to sue the City we are seeking 1,000 art-patch designs by artists supporting their speech rights to unleash upon the public in art-patch-actions. Visit the blog at c-drew.com/blog to get the whole story with photos from our latest Screen Print Workshop for Artists.

*East Coast Case:* BERY v. CITY OF NEW YORK, 97 F.3d 689 (2nd Cir. 1996)

*West Coast Case:* Perry v. Los Angles Police Dept,, 121 F3d 1368 (9th Cir 1997)

*Nevada Case:* Steven White v. City of Sparks (Nevada) Artist wins.
In /White v. City of Sparks/, painter Steven White challenged the
constitutionality of a city ordinance that required him to obtain a permit
before selling his paintings in public

*Florida law suit won by artist* - Celli v. City of St. Augustine, Florida -

decided 2000. Since this time artists in St. Augustine have allowed the City to pass new restrictive laws without response and have lost some of their First Amendment rights. However, the court case Celli won is still a valid precedent for us to use as needed. Eternal vigilance is needed to maintain your speech rights because powerful interests are ever ready to pass new local laws that impact your rights. You need only read into the many messages of the second link below to learn how New York City artists have resisted the attempts to take their rights and, thereby, their livelihoods away. The same tricks may be used by our opposition.

Wienberg v. City of Chicago (when all the National Sports Leagues joined with the City to appeal and lost when the Supreme Court refused to hear their appeal.) Wienberg - the Chicago author - won.
