Dear Friends and Members, 

Voting is over, so now let’s pray we don’t have to hear the best and worst from many and only see Good News from all the candidates. Congratulations to ALL, we have:

FREEDOM TO VOTE, AND FREEDOM IS PEACE.

The Good News is that there are many truly doing public service, and we praise and thank them in Peace and Love. Forward Motion.

We have some local New York City Good News Political stories to share:

The first is the Giving Back Foundation honoring Mira Nair, the Mother of Zohran Mamdani, and a great filmmaker. Zohran grew up seeing the power of her films and also the wisdom of his dad, a Political Science Professor. Here is an Award given to Mira in 2013 by friends at the Giving Back Foundation. Also, here is my interview with Mira and others at the IAAC Indian Awards, also in 2013, in which she discusses Peace.

NOTE: Good News Corporation, a Nonprofit, was created in 2002 by Milestone Broadcast Corporation Founder, Paul Sladkus, who founded a Multicultural Marketing & Media Representative Agency in 1985 and has a long-standing relationship with over 130 ethnic communities worldwide.

At 15th Anniversary Gala

I had the experience this year of speaking about two candidates I know and believe in, and I learned a great deal from handing out flyers. I suggest that everyone get some experience with our voting system and candidates, as it can build your respect for our FREEDOM TO VOTE.

PS- I was also the President of my Sleepy Hollow High School Senior Class, so every reunion I have the opportunity to be involved and share some great times, he he!

Here are three interviews that Good News has the honor to share with you. The first is one of the founders of the Working Families Party; the second is our new president of the Manhattan Borough, Brad Holyman-Sigal, talking about FREEDOM, during the celebration victory party, during an interview with the Gay City News that I also recorded and asked short questions. The last was with our friend and Earth and Peace Day Partner, the current Manhattan Borough President, Mark Levine, when he was interviewed on Spectrum TV about becoming the Comptroller of New York City and his stance for overseeing the finances for our NYC Administration for the best for ALL living in New York City.

IAAC is the first and only Indian Arts Council in the United States representing all of the artistic disciplines, including theatre, dance, music, film, folk arts, literature and fashion. The IAAC pioneered the first annual Indian theatre, film, dance and playwright festivals in the country, as well as an annual travelling exhibition of contemporary Indian art. The IAAC’s programs attract packed audiences and amazing media coverage – ethnic, mainstream and international outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, BBC, Variety, New York Daily News, NY1, CNN IBN, and Huffington Post, just to name a few.

“IAAC has been the perfect platform for nourishing and promoting Indian heritage, through the medium of performing arts, in our adopted homeland – the U.S.,” said Dr. Manjula Bansal, one of the honorees at the gala. “The IAAC has done invaluable work in creating a showcase for Indian Americans in many art forms. I’m delighted to have been a supporter from the earliest days,” said author and IAAC supporter Salman Rushdie. “Love and salaams to dynamic Aroon and the IAAC for bringing us our cinema for 15 years.  Woo Hoo!” exclaims Mira Nair whose film Monsoon Wedding closed the first IAAC film festival.

Tables at the gala range in value from $5,000 to $25,000, and individual tickets are available for $500. For more information and to purchase your advance tickets, please visit www.iaac.us.
