Vote 🗳 NO on #Hizzoner’s #RealEstate & #Landlord lobby dictated budget! Save our city from an Anti-Tenant, Anti-Rent Stabilization, Anti-Democracy (ref. Jeanie Dubnau) Mayor! #EnforceRTC #FundRTC #EnforceHSTPA #RestoreBudget

(4/4) Passing the right to counsel in NYC was a landmark victory, but it means nothing if tenants are being denied their rights. Take action today, and tell the Mayor and Finance Committee to #DefendRTC #FundRTC : https://t.co/35Euvrs94J
Thank you @NYCComptroller for your leadership to #DefendRTC! @NYSCourtsNews can + MUST pause all cases until all tenants have RTC. And @NYCHRA must #FundRTC + release the RFP for organizing to support and uphold RTC NOW. We have the solutions. We can't wait.
NYC's "right to counsel" law ensures all tenants facing eviction have access to a lawyer.
Yet ~73% of 164,285 active cases don't have representation.
I'm calling for an immediate adjournment on all cases for low-income tenants without access to a lawyer.

Courts in #CT started processing eviction cases in September again after a brief pause in the rent moratorium have since March. Since September 1, 2020, there has been 2,444 new evictions.
I know @GovNedLamont and his team are working hard. Let's #FundRTC and keep people safe!
Why should @GovNedLamont commit money from the $2.6 BILLION Connecticut received through the American Rescue Plan Act to #RightToCounsel for Evictions? Equal rights, racial justice, & an equitable post-pandemic economy. Call today to #FundRTC: https://t.co/hFfjl1cPXu
Call to Action! We have a historic opportunity to use federal relief funds coming to Connecticut to fund #RightToCounsel for at least three years. Use this script to call, write, & tweet at Gov. Lamont *today* telling him to fund Right to Counsel! #FundRTC

“7% of CT tenants have legal representation compared to 81% of landlords. That could change if the legislature were to pass a bill creating a #righttocounsel in eviction proceedings” #FundRTC @GovNedLamont @RepBMcGee @Porter4DaPeople @Gary4CT

Our chapter drove a coalition w/ almost 50 orgs across CT to get #RightToCounsel legislation raised & passed by the Housing committee this session. Now, we are calling on @GovNedLamont & @CTDeptHousing to fund Right to Counsel for Evictions w/ federal stimulus money. #FundRTC
Lots of new fed funding that can be used for tenant #righttocounsel! Our Coordinator lays out sources/uses/deadlines in piece in @theappeal: https://t.co/Zt2a7VJJcv. Precedent: Many cities/states did this w/CARES Act funds (see https://t.co/zoynB6CnPE).
@rosadelauro @VP We hope to see the state of Connecticut commit some of these funds to a #RightToCounsel program guaranteeing anyone facing eviction with legal representation. We must not exit this pandemic retaining the same broken structures with which we entered it. #FundRTC
Add in #RightToCounsel to this spending that saves lives, homes, communities, and, least importantly, money. Preventing eviction in the first place reduces all the ways it causes—more than reflects—poverty.

as i watch footage of LAPD suiting up in expensive riot gear so that the city can put up a fence to keep poor people out of a public park, i’m reminded of this excerpt from The End of Policing by Alex Vitale
What can we do? Contact Gov. Lamont’s office and urge him to include #RightToCounsel in the “mini-budget” for the federal stimulus money. Draw on the talking points here: https://t.co/fZkWWBAZak.
Follow @centralctdsa @ctfairhousing @TheNCCRC, & amplify the message to #FundRTC!
Bottom line: @GovNedLamont must use this opportunity to fund #RightToCounsel with a small fraction of the incoming federal stimulus money. @RepBMcGee & the Housing Committee have already shown how to do this w/ H.B. 6531. #FundRTC

We need @GovNedLamont to recognize the imminent eviction crisis and commit to funding #RightToCounsel for evictions in his budget for this federal stimulus money before the eviction moratorium is lifted. #FundRTC
Republicans in Washington voted against it. Republicans in CT can't wait to spend it. THANK YOU, DEMOCRATS.
Lawmakers want a say in how Connecticut spends $2.7B in federal COVID-19 stimulus; bill requires Gov. Ned Lamont to submit plans to legislature https://t.co/WmxJi14rcF
