#StatewideRTC will save our state & local governments millions of public dollars that would otherwise be spent on shelter, homelessness services, & more. Like most cities and states with RTC, NYS could save 3 to 6 dollars for every dollar invested in RTC! Right to Counsel NYC Coalition #EvictionFreeNY
Right to Counsel makes it harder for landlords to use evictions as a tactic to harass and displace tenants. Passing of #StatewideRTC and funding for it in this year’s budget would decrease eviction filings by an estimated 19% outside NYC! Right to Counsel NYC Coalition #EvictionFreeNY #EvictionFreeNY
$260 million for Right to Counsel is going to ensure free legal representation for tens of thousands more NYers facing eviction across NYS. We need to pass a Statewide #RTC for ALL this year to right the imbalance of power in our court system! Right to Counsel NYC Coalition #EvictionFreeNY #EvictionFreeNY
“Every single one of you being here matters!”—Amanda Septimo talking about the PEOPLE power that won #RTC in NYC, that launched a national movement, and that got #StatewideRTC in the NYS one house budgets this year. ✊✊
Our communities need long-term solutions that will keep us safe and securely housed! To prevent displacement and homelessness, Governor Kathy Hochul must pass #StatewideRTC (S2721) THIS YEAR, and fund its implementation with $260 million in the budget. #HochulsCourtsMustChange
When tenants have counsel, they win their cases most of the time. Without it, they overwhelmingly lose. Without #RTC, 1000s of tenants each year are displaced when they could've stayed in their homes. Governor Kathy Hochul NYS Senate Democrats NY Assembly Majority we need a RIGHT to Counsel THIS YEAR!
David Bistricer started 350+ eviction cases against Flatbush Gardens tenants after signing a $191 Million "homelessness prevention" deal w/NYC. Sign our petition to stop all FG eviction cases, and ask NYC to investigate! change.org/noevictionsfg Jumaane Williams (@jumaane.bsky.social) Brad Lander
Evictions aren’t personal failures—they’re the result of policies that favor landlords and corporate interests. Landlords are the protagonist in the story, and the courts, backed by the state enforce it. Governor Kathy Hochul #HochulsCourtsMustChange #TenantPower #StatewideRTC
