“The Mayor is once again deploying the NYPD as the city’s de-facto mental health workers instead of making the life-saving investments in mental health services and housing…it’s dangerous, @krimlawkeli, spokesperson, @changethenypd.

We took a stand today to protect Park Hilll tenants & fight for #housingjustice in Staten Island. We demand safe, stable housing that is free from these persistent, unlivable conditions. #ParkHillAction#StandWithParkHill
When we invest in community leaders like @leawebbforny, working people win. We’re excited to send this @citizenactionny alum and grassroots organizer to Albany. Congratulations, Lea!
Today, workers of @citizenactionny sent the following letter to leadership formally declaring our intent to unionize. Text-only version: https://t.co/bpED0lUS5Y
#GoodCause Resolution PASSED thanks to tireless advocacy! In May @citizenactionny & @OsseChi went door to door in Bedstuy & Crown Heights to talk to tenants & homeowners about how #GoodCause keeps Black & brown NYers in their homes & does not negatively impact small homeowners ⬇️
Whoot whoot! #GoodCause eviction resolution passed the NYC Council! There is no stopping the power of the housing justice movement in NYS. Statewide good cause is 🔥🔥🔥 for January at the state capitol! Congrats @citizenactionny for leading the way.
"This is the first step of many to protect our households. We cannot wait any longer. This is a racial, gender, environmental justice issue. We're going to get this caused, & then we're going to get this passed in Albany. Si se puede!"
@CarlinaRivera
"1 in 10 of our young people are unhoused. Do you know what the impact is on them? This is a moment, New York. This is a chance to show that we stand by what we say. @NYCCouncil@GovKathyHochul step up for New Yorkers - we're not going anywhere."

"#GoodCause is very important - it's hard to go to sleep at night thinking you could lose your home the next day. Tenants shouldn't pay an entire paycheck for rent. Families shouldn't have to deal with landlords who abuse the system."
Maribel Lopez, @LosSures & @LosSuresLUCHA
We're at City Hall today to fight for Good Cause Eviction legislation to protect tenants from unfair rent increases and unjust evictions!

"We know that when tenants complain about bad living conditions, many landlords say 'well, then leave' & they don't need a reason to evict them. They think that if they push people out, they can make more money in rent. That isn't right."
@BrianKavanaghNY
"Passing #GoodCause tells Bronxites that their housing is as important as their labor... that we are beginning to apologize for the generations of neglect & high rates of eviction they have experienced."
Chair of our Housing & Economic Justice Committee @BereketG1992
"Black and Brown communities have borne both the housing & Covid crises. There are tens of thousands of our friends, family members, & fellow NYers who are in desperate need of relief. It's time for NYC to join this fight." @NailahAmaru#GoodCause
