These are the people who are basically deciding housing policy on the local level on Long Island.

Please listen to see why change is desperately needed.

🔥 from @Asia_The_Truth:

“I am under no pretense that the housing crisis can be fixed quickly, or that the Housing Compact is the perfect, end-all-be-all solution. But it is a critical start as the State starts to take exclusionary zoning seriously.”

We teamed up with @OpenNYForAll to collect petition signatures to bring affordable housing, a state of the art museum, and modern MTA facilities to Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Let's build Monitor Point!

Last night, our Director of Organizing Asia Thomas shared her testimony about being forced to leave Long Island due to the lack of housing options. We need to pass the New York Housing Compact so young people can afford to stay in the communities they grew up in.

[Open New York @OpenNYForAll]

We need transit-oriented development to create vibrant, sustainable communities all across our state! #TODisForMe

Today I met w/ Legislators on both sides of the aisle from Westchester & Long Island- some oppose @GovKathyHochul’s #HousingCompact bc they want local control; some want to improve it & some enthusiastically support. EVERYONE agreed we need more #affordablehousing #NYNeighbors
