Tenants and property owners are not “alike” in our housing market!
Folks need to recognize the enormously unequal power dynamic between landlords and tenants. Property owners already have protection and power—and our current laws keep it that way.
3. Who has a solid chance of beating Trump if we all work like hell?
If the answer to all three questions is the same person, then the choice is clear.
Remember we are not choosing a messiah to save us. We are choosing the best political conditions to save ourselves.
Here are my top 3 Qs for assessing 2020 candidates:
1. Who best understands than anything short of transformative action on climate is tantamount to genocide?
2. Who, if elected, will be most porous to social movements/ least likely to seal themselves off with elite consultants?
We are fighting to end:
❌ Rent hikes
❌Tenant harassment
❌Preferential rents
❌Vacancy bonuses & decontrol
❌Major capital improvements ❌individual apartment increases #caucusweekend#housing4allNY#tenantpower
Cold? Heat is your right! If you are not getting enough heat tell your landlord, call 311, & ORGANIZE with your fellow tenants! #Heatlaws#tenantpower

If Gov. Cuomo and legislators fail to act, that number will exceed 100K by 2020.
The time to act is now!
