BREAKING 🚨New Yorkers are occupying Gov Hochul's office calling on her to TAX THE RICH & stop Trump's cuts to our Medicaid, SNAP benefits, & essential services.
Time for @GovKathyHochul to choose our lives over her rich donors.
Two years ago TODAY, New York passed Good Cause Eviction to protect renters from evictions and extreme rent hikes 🏠
There’s still a lot to do to fix the housing crisis: that’s why we’re fighting for the REST Act to expand rent stabilization and make it easier to freeze the rent
The Invest in Our New York coalition is protesting outside the residence of billionaire Hochul donor Barry Diller on the Upper East Side, calling to raise taxes on the wealthy
Gov. Kathy Hochul abruptly ended the press conference after a handful of 'Tax the Rich' activists interrupted the governor while taking questions.
"My friends follow me everywhere," Hochul says as the few people chant "Tax the Rich."
Phillip: You have benefited from this country—this is what your critics say. But you don't support the system, the economic system that perhaps you benefited from. Is that right?
Mamdani: I love this country. And I'm also a New Yorker who has loved this city. And one of the things that I love most about the city are its parks and its parks. And the parks department was founded by a socialist mayor of New York City, Fiorello La Guardia. These are all parts of the same story. And the idea to simplify it as if a critique of capitalism is to be un-american, it speaks to a lack of understanding of the breadth of our history.
If Warren had done this in 2020 that would have been something. @bradlander is a class act and the model of the sort of left-liberal we need to make coalition with the socialist left.
PK Ward 8 said Yes to Atonna! I’m honored to be the Democratic nominee to represent the neighborhood where I grew up. My campaign mobilized 100+ volunteers to knock 3,000+ doors. Thank you to the voters for believing in me. I’ll fight every day to put Poughkeepsie over profit!
BREAKING: The highest court in New York State just ruled to uphold Kingston's:
✅ Rent stabilization
✅ Historic 15% rent reduction
Today's decision is not just a victory for Kingston tenants, but for renters across the state. The court has just cemented the first government-mandated rent reduction in US history!!!!!
Allowing illegal rent increases in NYC. Refusing to enforce rent stabilization in Kingston.
@GovKathyHochul's @NYSHCR, the state department in charge of rent stabilization, needs to get it together.
