A hotel shelter where folks have been abruptly evicted, now sitting empty. It’s audacious how those in power think they can do whatever they want and the people won’t do shit. Landlords and bosses should be afraid. There are way more of us than them. We want it all, just so we can take care of each other.

We have been calling for a hearing on #commercialrentstabilization for more than a year now. Finally, City Council has scheduled it for this Friday morning! Tune in tonight at 6:30 @ link in bio for an info sesh hosted by @nycartc that will prep you to roll into that hearing with strong talking points and demands to strengthen the bill even more against real estate interests seeking to block it.
Artists and cultural spaces must stand in solidarity with businesses across the city to demand @speakercoreyjohnson and @nyccitycouncil end the absurd practice of unchecked commercial rent prices that can skyrocket at any time and displace us. We need #CommercialRentStabilization to protect our city from rampant real estate speculation. Hey @markgjonajny @coreyjohnsonnyc 📣 strengthen bill #1796 and give us #FairRentNYC so small businesses can survive in NYC. #NoSmallBizNoNYC

CALLING ALL ARTISTS! We are putting together an art exhibit about the closure of the iconic Jing Fong Restaurant dining room, which has left many workers jobless in the middle of a pandemic and the community without a major gathering center.
This is a struggle that so many families and youth are facing amid a broader landscape of displacement & predatory land use decisions by the current Mayor and City Council, from refusing to demand the landlord reopen the Jing Fong dining room to investing tax dollars in building a new jail in Chinatown to passing rezonings that would encourage big developers and bad landlords to build luxury high-rises and kick out low income families and small businesses.
➡️We are seeking art submissions that explore or question the legitimacy and impact of the City government’s displacement agenda on the lives of people. This art exhibit aims to amplify people's hope and visions for a future in which students, residents, independently owned businesses, and workers of all types--who have built and sustained our diverse community over time--can continue to thrive in Chinatown and the Lower East Side!
We're primarily looking for flat, eye-catching, non-precious, poster-sized artworks (drawings, prints, graphic art, poetry broadsides) that will be installed on a wooden outdoor gallery space. We're also very interested in and encourage poetry and/or performance submissions that can be read/performed in the show's opening rally.
Artists of all ages can apply!
All selected artworks will win a cash prize and have their work displayed at an outdoor location in Manhattan's Chinatown on Saturday October 23rd and 24th!
If you need art supplies or have questions, please contact us at protectchinatownartaction2021@gmail.com!

Once again, the people came through and won in the 11th hour. Evictions may not proceed again until JANUARY 15… super great time to evict people. What @marcelaforny points out is spot on, we need to go deeper. This crisis has revealed that evictions are always violent, pandemic or not, they threaten public safety, health and well-being all in the name of landlord greed. We need #goodcauseeviction legislation, and we are gonna get it. The city of Albany just passed it, now New Paltz, Poughkeepsie, Ithaca, and Hudson are debating it. NYC should be next.
