Education Chair signs on to humane ed. resolution (League of Humane Voters of New York City)

Great news! Council Member Robert Jackson (D-Manhattan), right, Chair of the City Council Education Committee, is now a co-sponsor of the HEART/LOHV-NYC humane education resolution (Reso. 497)! Jackson's support for this resolution will prove tremendously helpful in getting it passed.

Reso. 497 calls on the Department of Education to issue a memorandum to all NYC public schools to help increase compliance with New York State's humane education law. If passed, Reso. 497 -- along with full implementation of the humane education mandate -- will help to cultivate a whole new generation of humane and civic-minded citizens.

What You Can Do:

1. Contact Council Member Jackson to thank him for his support of Reso. 497. Urge him to hold a hearing on Reso. 497 as soon as possible so that schools can begin to incorporate the humane care and treatment of animals into their curriculum.
