• This is breaking news: the eviction moratorium has ~once again~ been extended thanks to the tenant movement. 🙌 While the state fumbles to begin disbursing rent relief funds, at least the hardship form is self-certifying, meaning no one else besides you is needed to co-sign.

  • 🚨As of right now, #evictions are set to commence on Monday.🚨The #evictionmoratorium expired May 1 and the extension that has been proposed at the state level is not currently law. 😩 We need a strong show of support tomorrow to pressure our lawmakers to act immediately‼️ 👉The #rentrelief that was passed in the budget has not even been set up to be distributed yet, and #tenants may have to wait another month to get any aid. 😩 How can you start up evictions before giving tenants aid?? 😾Lawmakers in Albany (many of whom are #landlords themselves) still aren’t behaving like they are handling a life and death crisis, insulated as they are from the terrifying reality of impending evictions for many thousands of households. 👉Over the last year we have actively protected our neighbors from eviction, with only NINE total evictions taking place all year due to coordinated organizing and #directaction. 💐💞 Tomorrow come show #solidarity with @crownheightstenantunion @brooklynevictiondefense @housingjustice4all and all the many #tenantunions and groups who keep us safe. If we don’t get the law signed tomorrow, we will be back in the streets on Tuesday. One day at a time we will get what we are fighting for. #housingisahumanright #tenantpower #evictionfreeny #cancelrent #rentrelief #evictionsareviolent #stopdisplacement #wekeepussafe

  • Speech by our comrade Alessandra in support of the amazing May Day demonstration organized by @waar_nyc @laundryworkerscenter & so so many others. 💘 #Gentrification & #displacement are workers’ issue. We fight against luxury towers that would displace low-income New Yorkers, small businesses, immigrant families. Workers would come home to a neighbourhood polluted with toxic dust and construction debris— a neighborhood with rising rents they could no longer afford. The city government lets landlords abuse tenants just like it lets bosses abuse workers. The biggest landlords in Chinatown, Alex and Jonathan Chu, put more than 200 Chinese immigrant workers at Jing Fong Restaurant out of work when they evicted the restaurant. But the workers are fighting back. (👟Including at the picket at East Bank tomorrow 12-2pm) 👉We can’t trust our bosses or politicians to protect us. #Workerpower is the strongest tool we have. We must keep fighting for #housingjustice, #workersjustice, and #racialjustice! Together, we will win.

  • From today’s action at the @themuseumofmodernart. Under the museum, under the university, under the city, THE LAND. What material relationships underpin everything? If we don’t stop to ask what’s underneath, we will never unseat the rooted ideologies of #settlercolonialism and #extractive #racialcapitalism that keep the #growthmachine churning, squeezing value from our lives. One question we seek to explore further: how do we understand our relationship to the land as mobilized workers? Tomorrow on #MayDay, we will be on the mic at noon at Canal and Baxter offering a few thoughts as we support the @laundryworkerscenter workers who were fired after trying to #unionize. #Gentrification and #displacement are workers’ issues. #strikemodernity #workersriseup #mayday #decolonize #abolitionnow #landback #taxtherich #decolonizethisplace #workerpower #communitycontrol

From the recent union drive at Amazon in Alabama, and organzing at Amazon facilities worldwide, to uprisings against racist police and ICE terror, working and oppressed people are fighting back. We need health care, union jobs & education, not killer cops & wars! May Day Union Square 2021 supports laundry workers forming unions, and excluded and incarcerated workers fighting for COVID relief. We demand Biden pass the PRO Act by executive order. We demand an end to U.S. wars, colonialism, and imperialism, from Afghanistan to Puerto Rico to Haiti. The 24 hour work day for home care workers must be abolished. We demand work places free from discrimination against LGBTQ+ people and people with disabilities. Now more than ever we must organize the unorganized. As police continue to kill Black, Brown and Indigenous people with impunity, the working class must organize and fight back to end police terror, and the rising tide of anti-Asian violence. These struggles, like all workers struggles are connected by a common cause: capitalism. Join us May Day, International Workers Day in solidarity with working and oppressed people near and far fighting to build a better world. #mayday #workersrights #laborpower #unionize #unionizeamazon #organizedworkers #abolishice #abolishpolice #endpoliceterror #endimperialism #stopantiasianhate #blackworkersmatter #stopthe24hourworkday #workersriseup #wagetheft #retaliation #incarceratedworkers #solidaritywithprisoners #prisonworkers #proact #righttoorganize #taxtherich #paytheworkers #abolition #abolishcapitalism #peoplepower

  • Tomorrow join our comrades at @strikemoma for a walking tour through the ruins of modernity known as midtown. - Meet at 3pm sharp at ‘Columbus’ Circle. The tour will conclude in the lobby of MoMA. - There will be folks holding space from 4-6pm at urban plaza (across from moma on 53rd) - There will also be an online iteration you can join by emailing strikemoma@protonmail.org for the link Footage from last week. A MoMA worker’s voice can be heard reading aloud the letter to Glenn Lowry. The dreamers and the artists are blooming outside MoMA, meanwhile a cop car guards the entrance to the museum, and the social order it represents.

  • This morning we rallied with our fellow workers in the home care industry, fighting against stolen wages. The home care workers of Chinese-Planning American Council (@cpc_nyc) have been forced to work 24-hour shifts, while only receiving pay for 13-hours. These workers are not allowed to sleep at night and are forced to sacrifice their health and family relationships. In such inhumane working conditions, how can we expect seniors to receive the proper care they require? CPC has set a dangerous precedent, with other home care companies following suit, spreading the practice of 24-hour shifts across the entire industry. These workers have been fighting for many years to receive their stolen wages and to end the barbaric 24-hour shift. In light of the recent attacks against the Asian community, it is our duty to condemn this seldom discussed form of violence. Through their practices, CPC and other home care companies, have and continue to commit economic violence against the Asian community. It is up to us to unite with our Asian brothers and sisters in their quest to end this economic violence and wage theft. #nomore24 #stopwagetheft #workersunite
