NEW: More Perfect Union is opening up our newsroom, connecting with students everywhere, and equipping them with the tools needed to unrig our broken economic system.
We hosted a Rental Ripoff Hearing for students alongside @NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani. Student after student shared their own landlord horror story — and spoke directly with Mamdani about finally holding bad landlords accountable.
Cea Weaver explains that right now lead paint isn't a sufficient reason to stop paying rent under New York City law. The Mamdani administration is moving to change that.
Students chant "Block by Block" during @MPUniversityUS' first campus event at Hostos Community College with @NYCMayor Mamdani.
Young tenants are all in on Zohran's housing agenda.
A rent freeze is on the table in NYC.
A tenant organizer from the Bronx delivered a powerful reminder to all renters testify at the Rent Guidelines Board Hearing.
"70% of New York City are tenants. So we have tenant power. So make sure you come out on June 8."
Zohran Mamdani: "We will deliver on the promise we made in our campaign to build 200,000 affordable, permanently rent-stabilized homes. And we will go beyond that and preserve and stabilize 200,000 more."
Zohran: "We want to get more New Yorkers involved and engaged in the work of government. We want their struggles to inform government policies. So we have something called the Office of Mass Engagement, OME, which is looking to bring city government out into New York City."
.@NYCMayor at Student Rental Ripoff Hearing:
"When a tenant union reaches majority membership of any building... city government is going to coordinate enforcement days where we have multiple agencies coming together to do a roof to basement inspection of an entire building."
