[Save Section 9 @SaveSection9]

Next Friday @SaveSection9 @RPPHNYC + are hosting an open house to discuss our citywide solution for #publichousing tenants, policymakers and allies are encouraged to join us! Zoom Registration Link: https://t.co/rmKU1NJzse

[Save Section 9 @SaveSection9]

Call your @NYCCouncil and say:“I oppose the mayor's proposed budget. I oppose privatization via project based section 8. I want all monies to be allocated to Section 9 for comprehensive modernization based on physical needs assessment". Comment who you called and what they said.

[Save Section 9 @SaveSection9]

@RepDanGoldman please ask your staff to refrain from providing misinformation at NYCHA meetings were privatization is being discussed. If PACT is adopted at Red Hook West, or any property, the tenants are no longer a "part of @NYCHA". John knows how to reach us.

[Save Section 9 @SaveSection9]

At these meetings folks will be asked about their repair needs. We won’t be asked how we feel about privatization, demolition or the dismantling of #publichousing because @NYCMayor supports our erasure.

@OrevaZSN part of me feels like I agree with you but there's also a part of me that says the students deserve the most advanced technology and that the problem is also that chrome books are far from the most advanced technology

[Edward Calamia @EdwardCalamia]

we gave these charter schools a chance and they obviously failed how long will we allow this disgrace to continue

[UFT Action @UFT_action]

Charter schools lack financial transparency, exclude vulnerable students, and funnel much-needed funding AWAY from public schools.

Albany must invest in public education that supports ALL students - and stop funding private schools with public funds.

[Kate Willett @katewillett]

A DSA endorsement wouldn’t have changed anything. The only way a pro working class candidate could win this billionaire heavy district is by winning NYCHA residents.

Layla got them all, and they ranked no one else, bc no other candidate opposed the planned demo of their homes.

Park Avenue is already beautiful. But I don’t have a park within walking distance. Why are we upgrading this area? Why not support environmental equity and prioritize areas like the south Bronx? Why not build up my riverfront?

[Edward Calamia @EdwardCalamia]

@petersterne even when I was paying student @Hunter_College I didn't use their library because of stuff like this

[Ramona Y @ramonathemona]

When Lloyd lived at Linden NYCHA provided academic, athletic and social services to tenants. His family left after segregation and as disinvestment was beginning . He benefited from Section 9 proves that #publichousing works when funded. Do better.

[Ramona Y @ramonathemona]

Unless you live in public housing.

[NY Working Families Party @NYWFP]

Today, CM Osse acted in solidarity w/ neighbors + put his body on the line to protect a constituent’s home.  NYS/NYC are reeling from an affordability crisis. Deed theft is one of many ways working families - and Black families in particular - are being forced out of their homes.

[Chicago Teachers Union @CTULocal1]

The loudest voice at yesterday’s press conference opposing May Day as a day of civic action for our schools wasn’t even a CPS parent — it was Juan Rangel, a longtime charter operator with a documented record of mismanagement and misconduct. He is a fraudster.

Meanwhile, here are the actual facts about May Day:

Schools remain OPEN on May 1.
Students and families have the option to participate in a day of civic engagement lessons and rally at Union Park with CPS-provided buses.
There will be no retaliation against students or staff who participate

What’s truly irresponsible is elevating a non-parent with a track record of financial and ethical violations to speak over real CPS families and educators.

I live in his district he is not about affordability. Check his voting record, if you live in this district he is using your seat to further the discredited trickle down theory of economics and support anything Trump wants.

[Mike Lawler @lawler4ny]

Congressman Mike Lawler expanded the Child Tax Credit to help make raising a family more affordable.

[Edward Calamia @EdwardCalamia]

@ellad3vi listening to some of her positions she sounds like a humanitarian interventionist she does not sound like any kind of leftist

[Save Section 9 @SaveSection9]

Today preliminary results were announced for #nycha Isaac's Houses where SS9 door knocked and used mailers. A new tool for us! The majority of tenants voted to remain Section 9! #publichousing https://t.co/y0o8kYD3ar

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

[New York City Council @NYCCouncil]

Today is International Day to Combat Islamophobia. The NYC Council reaffirms its commitment to Muslim New Yorkers: to fight discrimination in all its forms and build a city rooted in dignity and belonging for all.
