“There wouldn’t have been the 2019 rent laws if there had not been mass deregulation of [rent stabilized] units.

We’ve lost 500,000 [rent stabilized] units in the last 20 years.”—Adán Soltren of The Legal Aid Society

They said they couldn’t fix warehoused apartments (while doing just fine) and Albany gave them a big handout. 😱

“Build baby build.” But almost none of it is affordable. Until we address speculation and commodification of land and housing, rents will continue to spiral.

We have poured out in the rain to call on City Council to pass the #Communitylandact and adopt #HomesNowHomesforGenerations !

200,000 Black New Yorkers have been pushed out of this city. We must take land & housing off the speculative market & bring it into community control!

TOMORROW: It's a critical moment. Join us at City Hall Park as we demand City Council pass a slate of bills and funding measures to keep New Yorkers housed!

Speculation on housing caused massive displacement and now Albany is ready to reignite that fire w/proven incentives to harass like IAI increases. NO INCREASE!

It’s on! The Queensboro People’s Space Block Party will celebrate Queens’ food vendors, makers, performers & grassroots orgs. Use QR code if you want to participate: and let’s get the building! Suga Ray Council Member Julie Won Kristen Gonzalez The Connected Chef LIC Coalition Hope Justice Astoria

NEW: 38 NYS electeds say NO to rolling back rent stabilization in exchange for a gutted #GoodCause :

Sen. Mike Gianaris: 'The people of this great state deserve no less than our full efforts to protect all tenants, not pit one group of renters against another.”

There is not a single affordable unit in this building, and it's shameful. We need to fix the 5K vacant NYCHA units now, & massively fund deeply affordable housing—from public housing to CLTs.
