(1/2) In NYS, landlords file hundreds of thousands of eviction cases every year–not because tenants have done something wrong, but because eviction is part of their profit strategy. Landlords push tenants out to raise rents–not a reflection of your worth or rights as a tenant.

(2/2) Since the start of the pandemic, from January 2020 to today nearly 740,000 households have been sued for eviction. Don't let landlords scare you into leaving. You have rights, you are not alone. #RTCStatewide #BuildingTenantPower #PassCleanHands

Last Thursday, we woke up at the crack of dawn to meet at 6 AM — ready to head to Albany and fight for our rights! We came prepared to push: Statewide RTC Bill, Clean hands Bill, and new leadership for the Winter Eviction Moratorium. The Bronx, Brooklyn and Poughkeepsie ✅Present

Without a state mandate to uphold RTC, the state-run courts continue to deny tenants the right to legal representation. This undermines RTC, disproportionately harms Black and brown communities, and threatens renters' rights. #RightToCounselNY #PassStatewideRTC #RTCLobbyDay

That’s why it is critical that we #PassStatewideRTC – so the right to an attorney is upheld and enforced in every eviction court across the state. We’re grateful for Robert Jackson's leadership and commitment to making sure this protection reaches all New Yorkers.

We also met with #RTCChampions, Linda B. Rosenthal “the #OriginalRosenthal”, Senator Jose M. Serrano, and Assemblymember Dr. Anna R. Kelles about our 3 bill #HousingCourtsMustChange platform – Thank you! We’re excited to work with you to make sure our bills get passed next year! #EvictionMoratorium #StatewideRighttoCounsel #CleanHands
