What is the city waiting for? "As the climate crisis promises to lay bare the stark disparities of New York City, the answer has never been more pressing." - Next City Mayor Eric Adams NYC Mayor's Office FUREE - bit.ly/2msuIqn Next City

Seven years after #Sandy damaged 200 buildings in 35 developments along waterfronts from Red Hook to the Rockaways to the Lower East Side... work has been completed in just 2!!! complexes!!! thecity.nyc/2019/10/nycha-…

"We can't allow nycha to continue to treat tenants like nothing, and we won't." - Debra Medina, Housing Counselor at GOLES speaks at a town hall full of fed-up Riis Houses tenants.

Tonight I cosponsored an event on NYCHA issues alongside my colleagues in the NYS Assembly Manhattan Delegation. Tonight kicks off the first step toward ensuring all 400,000 NYCHA Tenants have their voices heard & repairs made. Everyone deserves affordable, clean, safe housing.

Thank you to my constituents who’ve sent note about the importance of preserving 227 Duffield St. The building’s abolitionist history & Mama Joy’s legacy needs to be honored. We can’t lose another sacred part of Brooklyn’s resistance history. LPC: landmark Abolitionist Place.

Obama can offer no credible advice to activists fighting to change conditions he made worse. Every movement for reform engages in compromise;its the nature of social movts. Activists know this. But his penchant for only compromise makes him unqualified to credibly have this convo

It's always struck me as odd how we -- meaning, like, nearly all of us in NYC -- talk about affordable housing, public housing and homelessness as distinct policy issues. Seems like a framework from another era.

Should the City's Housing Plan Make NYCHA its Centerpiece? bit.ly/34p1jyj

The Ocean Bay Houses in Far Rockaway were the first development to be transferred under NYCHA’s RAD plan. But over a 26 month period, 80 households were evicted there... citylimits.org/2019/08/14/nyc…

@Marni4Council FUREE #GeneralStrike : End #RAD/#PACT/#PreservationTrust When we talk about "funding NYCHA," we need to talk about funding Section 9 housing, period. From Trump/ Ben Carson to de Blasio and the Council, NYCHA funding means funding for RAD. They are all on the same team on this, & we need to call out the hypocrisy!
