"A Lot of Exciting things in the first 100 days of Trump Presidency" -Steven Mnuchin

Mnuchin is on the board of trustees at Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art and has been since 2009. "Radical" arts programming--with the financial strategist for white nationalism on your board-- is hypocritical and complicit. MOCA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND KICK TRUMP'S MINION OFF YOUR BOARD


Mnuchin has been with Trump since the summer

Mnuchin is now on Trump's presidential team

I am ashamed to be a paying member of an institution that supports racism and biggotry by having someone like Mnunchin on the museums board. I will remove my membership and support of MOCA if he is not taken off the board.

MOCA, Stand with your artists, the power and openess of art, and the diverse American public you serve as a public and contemporary art institution. Anyone who stands near, alongside or with Trump's bigotry, hatred and dangerous policies has no place on your board!

And to raise admission to attract rich tourists is COMPLICIT and contradicts any sort of "radical" "libratory" programming you cannot stand with queers POC or marginalized people with a white nationalist trustee

Hiring a single Black assistant curator after 7 years of Obama and keeping this cretin on your board tells us exactly what MOCA thinks of its artists and audiences of color.

Art matters -- it helps to shape what we are able to imagine, especially in our approaches to difference and solidarity. White supremacy and other forms of bigotry have no place in the cultural institutions of a city (and a country, and a world) so thoroughly and vibrantly multiple in its people, languages, cultures, nationalities, and practices.

MOCA, I am an artist living in Los Angeles. In light of the election results and Steven Mnuchin's affiliation with Donald Trump, I urge you to take responsibility and take Steven Mnuchin off of your board. Thank you, Amia

I could not refrain from commenting. Exceptionally well written! I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before. Hello, I log on to your new stuff on a regular basis. Your humoristic style is awesome, keep doing what you’re doing! http://Nissan.com/
