Yesterday, we rallied for solutions to keep New Yorkers in their homes. DBP and I joined the Coalition to Abolish the Tax Lien Sale and then CM Jen Gutiérrez & Council Member Shekar Krishnan for the intro of bills to ensure families displaced by disasters like fires can get #BackHome asap.
This is a slap in the face to tenants. This would be the weakest #GoodCause in the country, denying hundreds of thousands of renters basic protections from predatory landlords. Governor Kathy Hochul, Sen. Stewart-Cousins, and Carl E. Heastie: this is a giveaway to real estate.
Albany failed to address our housing crisis and NYC needs to step up by enacting the #CommunityLandAct, adopting $2.5B for #HomesNow, and funding #CLTsforNYC at $3M. Adrienne Adams Mayor Eric Adams
Brianna of East New York CLT says they worked with tenants & donors to successfully purchase a building owned by an absentee landlord. We can do it again! New York City Council pass the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act so CLTs across NYC can bring land into community control!
“New York City Council — Show us the money!” — East New York CLT’s Al Scott calling for #HomesNow and $3M for #CLTsforNYC to expand community ownership of land and housing.
"There are so many over-leveraged rent stabilized buildings, tenants living in poor conditions & landlords who want out." - coalition member Hannah of East New York CLT The city should adopt the $2.5 billion #HomesNowHomesforGenerations proposal & pass the #CommunityLandAct now!
Thank you Rep. Nydia Velazquez for your contribution of $750k to 248 Arlington, leading the way for the future of community-owned Brooklyn! ✊🏫 We look forward to continuing to work with NYC Council Member Sandy Nurse Antonio Reynoso Adrienne Adams NYC Housing and NYC Mayor's Office of Housing Recovery to complete the goal!

Spent the morning hosting a historic map collaging workshop at the New Lots branch of Brooklyn Public Library with our pals at East New York CLT, and the afternoon at Center for Brooklyn History making zines with Booklyn. Libraries build so much community. We need them. #NoCutsToLibraries
