  • Powerful action this morning at the housing courts in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. ⚡️⚡️Highlights: when the cops did back up after we yelled “back up back up we want freedom” in Brooklyn, and a die-in in front of the court house in Manhattan. ⚡️⚡️The eviction crisis is upon us but our power is growing by the day. ‼️We cannot let @nygovcuomo cruelly evict New Yorkers during a pandemic. We will be there to protect each other because #wekeepussafe! 📣✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾#cancelrent 🙅🏽 #defundthepolice 💸 #housingisahumanright 🗣 #abolishice 🚨 #abolishpolice ❌#tenantpower 👯 #rentstrike 🤍#noevictions 🏘 #stopdisplacement ⚠️ #fuckthelandlords 💯

  • 💥 THE JUNE ELECTION 💥IS UPON US💥 do you know how you are voting? 🗳 You can go out and vote Friday and this weekend to avoid the crowds on Election Day. 🤓AAD members decided to compare notes and put together a cheat sheet. These are our thoughts on races around the city. 🌹 means DSA-endorsed. Please let us know in the comments if you agree or disagree, or have candidates you are extra stoked about! 🗣🗣🗣🗣!!! Visit @softpowervote for more detail on these candidates. 👉Regarding our Assembly race in Chinatown/LES: Both Grace Lee and Yuh-Line Niou responded to our question letting us know they both do support the #chinatownworkinggroup. Many of our members will support Niou in this election, finding her to be the more progressive choice, but we expect that whoever wins the seat will step up to urgently and aggressively to fight predatory overdevelopment in Lower Manhattan through every means available to them as Assemblymembers. 💋thanks for listening now GO VOTE ❣️❣️❣️#vote #nyprimary #election #gotv #votevotevote

  • We advocate for community control in the context of the #ChinatownWorkingGroup Plan and pushing forward people-centered land use policies. 🗯What would community control look like in every aspect of our lives??❣️🗯 If we #Defund and #Reallocate 🔄 our tax money into things that help us... like affordable housing, mental health support, youth services, education, healthcare, environmental sustainability.... think about it. The structures we have can be radically changed. 😱💡🌇 Never let them tell you there is not money for these things again. 🤔🏦 There’s money if political will demands it‼️#DefundNYPD is a step toward #Abolition but it is not a destructive process in the least and it’s not an end goal. 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣We need everyone’s creative thinking and expansive dreaming to instantiate and build a better way. 💙🤍💛💜🧡💚❤️

  • A lot is happening fast!! Check out this list from @springmagca and keep your energy high ⚡️⚡️ re #DefundtheNYPD (link in bio) So far, only 6 NYC Council Members Members have committed to vote NO on a budget that doesn't significantly cut the NYPD. 12 Council Members have indicated support for cuts to the NYPD without committing to vote no on a no-cut NYPD budget. Still it’s a lot more than a few days ago. Keep calling, emailing, tweeting, marching, and showing love for each other! We can’t lose! We have already shown that a different way is possible. 🖤🖤🖤

  • Today- a small thing you can do, call, tweet, and email your reps (all automated through the link in our bio). Some problems with this bill proposed by Lower Manhattan’s own lousy Senator, Housing Chair @briankavanaghny: millions will be left without help, it will be a bureaucratic mess, it funnels money to landlords without tenant protections. Do better!! #cancelrent #housingisahumanright #housingjusticeforall
