@KiyomiMcfarlane@Jaithak@WaluigiSoap Quick correction—tenants don’t get kicked out of units leased through the housing lottery if their income changes. The income qualification only matters at the time of application.
apropos nothing but imo member deference ≠ “listening to the local community” and while we are at it “listening to the local community” ≠ racial or economic justice, power building, governance
@SheryllCashin showing so clearly that we live in a residential caste system with stark geographic dividing lines and challenging us (looking at you, civil servants/planners) to pursue a “necessary process of abolition and repair” and “stop investing in segregation”

Our people-powered campaign relied on small-dollar donations, w/ over 70% of donations received being $50 or less. And since we surpassed all fundraising goals in just 4 weeks last summer & received early matching funds, with funds totaling over $236,000!
Last month, our campaign became the 1st in our race to qualify for the max amount of public matching funds. As a truly grassroots campaign w/ 1,230 donations, we would be nowhere without the support of our community: over 400 of our donations came from the BX & over 200 from D14.
