Over 14k renter households in Sunset Park, Red Hook & Bay Ridge are unregulated & have no protections against unreasonable rent hikes or evictions.
Today over 65 people joined our Housing Townhall to learn about the protections Good Cause will provide if passed. We must act now.
Tenants stopped by the address @stefanizinerman is registered to vote at to demand the #Right2Remain, but apparently she doesn't live there??🤷♀️🧐
Then we got on the bus to her speaking event where they called the cops on us :/ Why is she hiding from tenants?? #GoodCause NOW!!
@BronxGuy1282 @alexaforcouncil It’s virtually impossible to get a permit to sell fruit at a subway station, and it’s a refreshing snack that I amalways happy to have when I am out and about. I am very grateful the food vendors are there and I am in full solidarity with them always. NYC deserves so much better.
Thinking about how it’s Mother’s Day, and this is how our city treats so many working class immigrant women of color.
Harassing people trying to make a living doesn’t make us any safer.
Buy your flowers from a street vendor today 💐
An unfriendly reminder❗️that 1 single, 45 minute CitiBike ride is $4–that’s 45% more than a @NYCferry or @NYCTSubway ride! And there is no monthly/30-day option. You are billed $185 upfront before taxes. Bikeshare needs to be much more affordable, @NYCMayor@NYC_DOT@NYCCouncil❗️
Good morning @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins the @MTA needs to resolve these incidents more quickly in general so millions of commuters can get to work. One train snag shouldn’t cause so much mayhem and delay citywide.
Time to fight for tenants to stay New Yorkers, @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins! Pass Good Cause housing legislation now. We need Sunset’s next state Senator, @agounardes, to get on board for tenants. Sunset Parkers want to stay in their homes! @sbkDSA@housing4allNY
🆘Do you want to stay in Sunset? Are you disgusted by rent prices? We need @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins to pass Good Cause housing legislation now! ☑️ We need Sunset Park’s next State Senator @agounardes to care about tenants, and back this bill now! 🆘
Sick 🤮 of sky-high rent prices? $2000+ for studio apts in working-class neighborhoods? Join our rally for Good Cause Albany bill via @housing4allNY, @nycdsa_housing and @metcouncil at Bowling Green, Thursday, 5 PM. It would limit rent hikes to inflation rate & let tenants renew.
Before you dish that hot take, read it aloud and consider whether you’d be comfortable if the victims and their loved ones were in the room. It’s okay to not speak.
Came back from D.C. this afternoon and took the Q train home from Penn Station. Saw this dad reading to his son and it’s just a reminder of the little things that make life — and this city — so precious.
