🚨BIG: Because of @MakeRoadActNJ work, Passaic County leaped from Trump +3 to Sherrill + 15.
Here's how we engaged tens of thousands of Latino voters to deliver this win.
🧵
Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.
They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.
We must fight back.
Mayor Adams must resign, and if he doesn’t, Governor Hochul should remove him from office. New Yorkers need a functioning government, not chaos and cronyism.
#BREAKING today, hundreds of tenants of Perez, one of the largest corporate landlord in Passaic, NJ announce they are forming a tenant union to demand:
🏡better & healthy living conditions
🛑No more excessive rent increases
📄Stop evictions
#RentersRising
Today,@AOC and @SenTinaSmith introduced the #HomesAct, a bold new plan to build millions of homes for the public good -- instead of real estate industry profits.
Our coalition stood with them to launch this new leg, based our own NY Social Housing Development Authority bill!
We proudly endorse @AOC’s & @SenTinaSmith’s Homes Act, which aims to transform housing for public good.
Let’s build massive amounts of beautiful, permanently affordable housing while creating hundreds of thousands of good-paying union jobs. #SocialHousing

The stakes couldn't be clearer. The fight for housing justice is a fight against exploitation and systemic racism. 🏡 "This race writes itself. We’re running against a racist slumlord." - @analilia_mejia#DNC2024#WeRentWeVote#Election2024 https://t.co/ejtdhaukE1
"Despite being a key issue, housing remains oddly absent from national politics, and this presidential election is no different. Candidates shouldn’t leave Americans’ hunger for progressive housing reform on the table." - Damareo Cooper #Election2024

POLL: 73% of battleground voters support rent caps.
The rent is too damn high. The solution to rent gouging? Rent caps. This is the only solution that meets the scale and severity of the crisis tenants endure every month.
