  • Tomorrow is the culmination of months of collective learning and struggle. Join us for the 10th week of @strikemoma! If you are still asking why we are striking MoMA, please visit their page and their website to familiarize yourself with the research and how the struggles are interconnected. This is linked with our mission to protect our more vulnerable neighbors against displacement and to stop allowing art to be instrumentalized to harm people and facilitate the rich getting richer at the expense of communities. We are looking here at the MoMA board of directors and the global nature of their finances that are invested to profit from extraction, displacement, apartheid, and war against the people specifically in Palestine, Yemen, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. These connections are intentionally hidden, so we must continue to dig deeper and educate ourselves, as we push toward the goal of community-control. Not just of our immediate neighborhood, but of our culture itself. ✨We want people-centered everything. ✨Thank you @strikemoma @takebackthebronx @wolpalestine @momadivest @colombianosenny @booklynart @kyledidthis @shellyne_r_studio and all the MANY incredible organizers who have put in work these last 10 weeks. Special shoutout to the MoMA workers who have supported, despite retaliation from the museum. Special shoutout to Gabrielle L’Hirondelle Hill, the first artist within MoMA to join the people outside and withdraw her work from the museum. There’s more abundance outside. We will be here for the long-term, and we want to make art and create a future for each other. 💘

  • Good news from Albany! Tenant uproar has successfully blocked the Blueprint yet again. But the fight is certainly not over. We need to build power to demand that we fund public housing with public money so we can guarantee the continued autonomy and existence of NYCHA. We already have affordable housing for 1 in 15 New Yorkers, preserving and repairing it ASAP must be a top priority. We need to stop RAD, the privatization scheme already underway across the city. ➡️ We need a #greennewdealforpublichousing ! #savenycha #fundnycha #stoprad #halttheblueprint #no2blueprint #publichousing #housethepeople #radkills #keeppubliclandsinpublichands #removeruss #nycha #rpph #tenantpower

  • Presenting... the NYC Democratic Primary Elections Cheat Sheet! 🎊 This is a collaborative research effort by the members of Art Against Displacement! In this packet you can find our unofficial ballot recommendations. Our decisions were broadly motivated by our goal to stop the real estate lobby's control of NYC politics. We looked at fundraising data and stances on housing, land use, and policing, among other things. A detailed (and chaotic) spreadsheet is linked in bio for a deeper dive. Our conclusions are to trust no politician, and to keep organizing for community-controlled futures, but we can use the elections as a tool to advance these interests. Let us know if you like our recommendations or have information to add to the conversation. 🗳🖤✨

  • The rent relief being offered as of June 1 is the DIRECT result of all of the #cancelrent organizing. We know all of you reading this played a part. ✨ The state always waters down the people’s demands and makes us jump through hoops to receive basic services, but we will keep pushing, demanding, leading from the outside, and helping each other. Apparently there are many technical glitches with the system 🙄 but please spread the word to your neighbors who may not be online seeing the articles. Link in bio for more details on how to apply! You can call @met_council tenant hotline 212-979-0611 for help (Mon 1:30-8pm, Tues 5:30-8pm, Wed 1:30-8pm & Fri 1:30-5pm) or DM us and we can try to connect you with resources and answers. The more we do this, the better we are at surviving and thriving together 💕💕💕 Pictured: a man in sunglasses and a face mask walking past a telephone booth poster intervention we did in Chinatown and the LES with @jordanseiler @stephanie_eche from last year’s #cancelrentdrawingchallenge ✨ the poster shows two banners that spell Cancel Rent hanging out of an apartment building’s windows as neighbors hand each other items and a cat looks on. 🥰

  • Do you know there is a full-on attack of NYC’s public housing, lead by demonic CEO 👹 Greg Russ(the highest paid city official in NYC who makes $400k/year)? Not only does he stand to **personally** profit 🤑from the Blueprint, his track record in Detroit, Chicago, Cambridge, and Minneapolis shows that he 🤬obliterates the public housing authorities he directs‼️ how is this allowed. 🧠 Please watch this *super* helpful explainer video from @sunrisemvmtnyc & @mvmtschool and ✍️sign the petition (🔗 in bio) to REMOVE RUSS! 🆘 🔊We need to fund public housing with public resources and invest in a #greennewdealforpublichousing now. #gnd4ph #stopdisplacement #nycnot4sale #savenycha #keeppublichousingpublic #removeruss #killthebill #halttheblueprint #radkills #no2blueprint #nycha #section9
