In what could have been thin reformist advocacy, @NorthNJDSA organizers successfully engaged in true movement politics with a focus on non-reformist reforms...insisting on a program to grow popular support and brought class struggle messaging to the doors. https://t.co/ohVG9VYohx

In 1959 NYC tried to use urban renewal to displace residents in Cooper Square. A motley crew of working class residents showed up to protect their community from being displaced in favor of wealthier residents. If this sounds familiar it’s because this is still our fight today 🧵

Join us next Thursday at the Bethune Center for a screening of Rabble Rousers: Frances Goldin and the Fight for Cooper Square, followed by a panel with our campaign and The Waterfront Project ⚖️ https://t.co/rHLeko056N

“a landlord might refuse to renew a lease after a tenant demands repairs. Or they might file an eviction case with no grounds to evict in order to punish a tenant.”

“Case filings have skyrocketed in some cities… But those numbers don’t count all the renters forced out without being formally evicted, sometimes by intimidation or through other, illegal tactics.”
