City Councilmember Kim Smith

Councilmember At Large for The City of Rochester.

[VOCAL Action Fund @VOCAL_Action]

Following our town hall in #Syracuse tonight to hear from the community about the upcoming election in #CD22, we came upon a homeless encampment that was busted & folks arrested.

Ticket & arrests won’t solve homelessness. This November, we’re voting for HOUSING not handcuffs!

@RocTenantUnion Those who are most directly impacted and those working closest with them MUST be in the forefront of the decision making process. It is not enough to pass a version of Good Cause - we must pass the most inclusive and impactful form that leaves no renter behind!!!

Every tenant, no matter where we live or who our landlord is, deserves the same protections against rent hikes and evictions.

Sign our petition for a strong #GoodCause Eviction that covers everybody.: https://t.co/YuJDYr7gHq

It's working people who make the Bronx what it is.

Donald Trump can go back to Florida.

@HarrBBronson Congratulations

I am honored to be appointed Labor Chair and thank Speaker @CarlHeastie for this opportunity. I am a labor guy, through and through, since the earliest days of my law career, and my commitment to defending workers has only grown stronger.

Today City & County will appoint new Leadership. Before you celebrate ask them what policy/systems changes will be made in 2024 to address the housing crisis and poverty. Or is the position more about their political advancement so they protect the status quo?

[City Councilmember Kim Smith @kimsmith4ROC]

Happy New Year!

[VOCAL-NY @VOCALNewYork]

In the past 90 minutes, a NYer died from a preventable overdose. With the path NY is headed in, we will continue to lose thousands more.

@AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie with only 4 session days left, thousands of NYers lives are on the line -- pass #SCSA and be the leaders NY need.

Thank you @LocalProgress for a weekend of perspective, learning and understanding what is possible in the world of housing affordability.
Despite Hockuls budget.

We need viable solutions that address root causes!

BREAKING: Elected leaders in Monroe County write in opposition to @GovKathyHochul's plan to gut bail reforms:

"It is simply false that doubling down on a punishment-first strategy, which breaks families & communities apart, is best way to curb violence.”

Excited to put in the work!

@robataol I would love to have more conversation with you. Well intentioned small landlords are always considered in these conversations.

@housing4allNY @CarlHeastie
Why must we fight so hard for policies and practices that will allow our most vulnerable and working families to thrive? Families that have invested in the growth of this state and our cities for generations.

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

BREAKING: following our press conference at the NYS Capitol today, over 100 local elected officials and community organizations statewide are demanding the immediate passage of #GoodCause for all of New York:

@marylupienroc @iknowstanley
We stand with her!

[City Councilmember Kim Smith @kimsmith4ROC]

Include housing investment to this list

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control
