NOW: Tenants, activists, and elected officials are protesting outside the Rent Guidelines Board meeting where the Board will take a preliminary vote on an outrageous rent increase up to 16%. Working New Yorkers cannot afford a rent hike!
🚨I’m bringing the tenant protests to Twitter TONIGHT.
The Rent Guidelines Board will vote at 7 PM at Cooper Union whether to approve this 16% rent increase.
Whole tenant community will be out there at 6 marching. I’ll be live tweeting so be ready!
As the NYC Rent Guidelines Board is about to take a preliminary vote on rent increases, NYC Public Advocate @JumaaneWilliams tells us how this is a “life or death” issue for New Yorkers.
NYC tenants are out strong at tonight's Rent Guidelines Board meeting to tell the Board and @NYCMayor that the proposed increases are unacceptable and will hurt renters - the rent is already too damn high! @RentJustice
"As for the RGB, there’s plenty of data to make the following recommendation: don’t raise the rent."
Join us at Cooper Union (7 E. 7th St) at 5:30 PM TONIGHT to hear the RGB's official preliminary vote and share why they should vote for 0%!
Tenants from throughout the city standing online 2 get into the RGB preliminary vote hearing. We’re ready 2let the board know we need a RENT ROLLBACK!”Landlords are going down, New York is a workers town.” @caaav@CASAbronx@GOLESNYC@Met_Council@ST_PCV_Tenants@WSNANYC@NYWFP
