The families testify--NYU's Love & Let Die symposium

Love & Let Die, NYU symposium on June 1, 2013
The families testify: A pair of dramatic first-person testimonies, alas all too common. With Heather Waters and Nancy Biberman
Heather Waters works as a nonprofit finance and administration manager, currently with NICHE (Nurses Improving Care of Healthsystem Elders) at the NYU College of Nursing. During the 2012-2013 period, she was maintaining a blog about economic reform for the people by the people entitled ProfitNonprofit.com. Several of her poems have been published in small journals.
Nancy Biberman, a leader in Columbia University's student movement in 1968, began her work career as a Legal Services Lawyer where she was part of the team that won the first class action lawsuit in the country to give battered women access to the court system and police protection. In 1980 she helped create the SRO Law Project and became the director of its East Side office. She subsequently spearheaded the nationally recognized West End Intergenerational Residence, a 100-unit dwelling on Manhattan's Upper West Side, before going on, in 1991, to found WHEDco, Women's Housing and Economic Development Corporation in The Bronx, where she is still president.
