We're proud to support someone as dynamic and effective as Ben Kallos as our pro-arts candidate," said LIT Executive Director John Clancy. "Ben impressed us enormously at our candidates forum this spring, and he has a great record of getting things done – from putting Albany legislation online to promote transparency to leading the charge to get rid of a corrupt state senator. I’m confident he'll be a powerful voice for New York City arts and culture.

Ben Kallos has made women’s rights a cornerstone of his platform and continues to strongly champion equal access to health care and information for women and girls. We feel confident that in the City Council, Ben will emphasize issues that matter to all New Yorkers, like safeguarding access to reproductive care, ensuring that all New Yorkers have the information they need to stay healthy and safe, and providing protections against the anti-choice forces that prey on vulnerable women in this city

I am writing to inform Ben Kallos that the Planned Parenthood of New York City Political Committee is very pleased to endorse your candidacy for City Council. We applaud Ben Kallos' commitment to reproductive health equity for all New Yorkers.
