[UrbanStudiesCircular] NYPIRG Voter Helpline
by urbanstudiescircular＠lists.qc.cuny.edu 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

Hello All, Please read below! ?With all of the uncertainty college students have felt since COVID-19, one thing we want to make sure goes well is voting in the upcoming Presidential election. NYPIRG has run a non-partisan voter helpline during elections for many years -- and we're doing it again. This year, NYPIRG will be focusing our voter helpline services on college students, many of whom will be first-time voters. NYPIRG's Student Voter Helpline will run from 6am-9pm on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3rd. Student voters just have to call our Helpline at (212) 822-0282 and trained professionals and lawyers will help answer questions about where their poll site is, their voter eligibility, what to expect at the polls, or what to do if their right to vote is challenged. We will also be offering virtual Voter Office Hours over Zoom during the early voting period for one hour a day (similar to our successful virtual Voter Registration Office Hours we ran weekly ahead of the voter registration deadline). In the coming days, we will be following up with a promotional packet for the Early Voting Office Hours and Student Voter Helpline. Would you be able to share information about this service with Queens College faculty and students? Thank you again for your continued support, we are excited to work with you again on such a worthy initiative. Best, Nadine Pratt & Cecilia Ellis from NYPIRG -- Cecilia Ellis Nadine Pratt Project Coordinators NYPIRG at Queens College 718-997-3954 queens(a)nypirg.org SU LL-36 nypirgstudents.org<http://nypirgstudents.org/> [https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1pyQnaYWPPR1HwnS3yZ_V2jOmRL3O…] Arooj Malik College Assistant Urban Studies Department Queens College 65-30 Kissena Boulevard Flushing, N.Y. 11367-1597 Powdermaker Hall 250 (718)997-5130

[UrbanStudiesCircular] NYPIRG 10/15 Environmental Event Feat. NYAG Letitia James Invitation

13 Oct '20

Hello All, This email is sent on behalf of NYPIRG please read below. ?"I hope that you are doing well! I wanted to reach out to inform you and your students about NYPIRG's Make Polluters Pay event, which will be held via Zoom on Thursday, October 15th at 4pm! Would you be able to post the following message for your students who may be interested in joining? ANNOUNCEMENT: Our Make Polluters Pay event<http://bit.ly/3kLPjis> will feature a keynote address from NYS Attorney General, Letitia James!! On Thursday, October 15th at 4pm, NYPIRG, along with NYRenews and the NY Youth Climate Leaders, will host New York State Attorney General Letitia James to talk about how we must make polluters pay! For decades, the fossil fuel industry and others have lied about their role in causing the climate crisis and in polluting New York's air and water. As New York looks to clean up this pollution, protect our natural resources and combat climate change, it should be polluters footing the bill. Join us during this digital assembly of the people to learn how we can hold corporate polluters responsible for their actions -- through the legal system, through policy, and through organizing. Please sign up fast as space is limited at this link: http://bit.ly/3kLPjis. Thank you again for working with us this semester, and please let me know if you have any questions". -- Cecilia Ellis Nadine Pratt Project Coordinators NYPIRG at Queens College 718-997-3954 queens(a)nypirg.org SU LL-36 nypirgstudents.org<http://nypirgstudents.org/> [https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1pyQnaYWPPR1HwnS3yZ_V2jOmRL3O…] TAKE ACTION.

[UrbanStudiesCircular] Recruiting Research Assistants: Center for Migration Studies Project on Immigrants' Access to NYC Services and Programs
by urbanstudiescircular＠lists.qc.cuny.edu 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

Hello All, I hope you're well! Thanks so much for sharing our request for data help with your colleagues. We are rebooting our project on immigrants' access to New York City services and programs, with an emphasis on understanding whether and how fear influences immigrants' engagement with the City. We started this project in February but it was put on hold due to the pandemic. We are still looking to hire some additional RAs/interviewers for this study. As a reminder, we are searching for student research assistants who can help us complete about 100 interviews with immigrants in NYC. All interviews will be held virtually or telephonically. Graduate students are preferred, but advanced undergraduate students will be considered. Since we're moving the project online, it is not necessary that interviewers reside in New York, although it may be helpful for building rapport. All interviews must take place between September and January 2021. Scheduling is flexible, but we ask that research assistants commit to completing between 5 and 10 interviews. At this time, we have a particular need for students who are native or near-native speakers of the following languages: Spanish Haitian Creole Uzbek French (as spoken in Senegal, Guinea, and the Ivory Coast) Russian Hindi / Urdu Cantonese Nepali We are also seeking interviewers who are familiar with Caribbean immigrant communities, including Jamaican, Guyanese, and Trinidadian communities. Interviewers will be paid $20 per hour. If you know any students that might fit these descriptions, it'd be great if you could pass this information along to them. I've attached an (updated) informational flyer. Please also forward this along to any colleagues at your university that might know interested students. Interested students should send a resume and (optional) cover letter to me at mnicholson(a)cmsny.org<mailto:mnicholson@cmsny.org>. I'd also be happy to answer any questions they have. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks! Mike Nicholson, Ph.D. Researcher Center for Migration Studies 307 East 60th Street, Fourth Floor New York, NY 10022 mnicholson(a)cmsny.org<mailto:mnicholson@cmsny.org> www.cmsny.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.cmsny.org&d=DwMFaQ&…> ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the WORKSHOPWII-L list, click the following link: [&*TICKET_URL(WORKSHOPWII-L,SIGNOFF);]&*TICKET_URL(WORKSHOPWII-L,SIGNOFF);?
