  • The victory we celebrate today is that our community fights against displacement together. We stand up and we keep us safe. We have won as a community, and we will keep winning because we are living and practicing our resistance together. We will continue to fight against the modern-day colonialism of luxury development. We will continue to demand that politicians implement community-led planning solutions aka the CWG plan. Join us at the link in bio for our virtual rally and appellate court watch party Jan 27.

  • Stopping displacement and keeping families and communities in tact means abolishing ICE, stopping deportations, and protecting our undocumented neighbors. Via @cosechanyc ・・・ AS THE U.S. PREPARES FOR INAUGURATION DAY, UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE: “WE FIGHT FOR THE DIGNITY, RESPECT, AND PROTECTION OF ALL 11 MILLION” Today, the New York Public Library woke up with a message from the more than 11 million immigrant and working families in the US: Permanent Protection Now! Abolish ICE! Hoy, la biblioteca de la Ciudad de Nueva York se despertó con un mensaje de más de 11 millones de familias inmigrantes y trabajadoras en los Estados Unidos. ¡Protección permanente ahora! Chinga La migra! We have made this banner, with our demands—"11 Million Demand Permanent Protection Now! / Abolish ICE”— to make it clear that even though the state has made our lives hell, we want to be a light that cuts through the false victories imposed by the media, which presents Biden and Harris as our saviors. This could not be further from reality: the truth is that neither Democrats nor Republicans are our saviors. Both are false Quetzalcoatles, false Wiracochas. Aquí estamos y no nos vamos porque este país nos necesita, nuestro trabajo es esencial y vamos a luchar para que seamos reconocidos como tal y ahora que esta nueva administración de Biden/Harris va a entrar vamos a decir ¡YA BASTA! de falsas promesas y les vamos a exigir que de una vez por todas se haga realidad la protección permanente para todos los inmigrantes indocumentados. ¡Viva el Pueblo! ¡Viva su Lucha! y ¡Viva La solidaridad de los trabajadores del mundo!

  • It’s an uncertain time, but we are more committed than ever to the importance of organizing and being in community. 💕 Thank you 👏👏 to all the artists that took their time and effort to propose concepts for the CSWA-NMASS Facade Mural Project! After a vote by the membership of Chinese Staff and Workers Association (CSWA) and National Mobilization Against Sweatshops (NMASS), we are very excited to congratulate Marisela Vanegas for the winning #mural proposal. Her design will honor these sister organizations that are the HQ for #CoalitiontoProtectChinatownandLES at 345 Grand Street. They have been organizing workers in the community for several decades. Let us know if you want to help us PAINT! #artagainstdisplacement #artsinsolidarity #uniteasworkers

  • Part 2 of @youth_against_displacement’s zine absolutely SCHOOLING YIMBYs lining up in favor of upzonings such as De Blasio’s Soho Noho plan in the name of supposed affordability. 💯 🗣 We stop to check these calls to divide the community and debunk them. 🗣 We continue to unite our common goals and build our base. 🗣We must fight to protect our homes and our neighbors because this is our life and our communities and it is literally what makes life worth living. 🗣 WE WILL WIN because we are the people❣️and our shared interests are greater than what divides us. 🔍Stay tuned for next steps in the Two Bridges fight. Our court appeal date has been set for Jan 27.

  • @youth_against_displacement made this zine clarifying the frustrating rhetoric put out by YIMBYs such as @/opennyforall who support the Soho Rezoning in the name of “affordability.” 🤔🤨😣 Let’s take a minute to break down what’s happening with Soho. While the concept of bringing higher density affordable housing to a wealthier transit-hub area, is in theory good, we must look at the fact that (as always) there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY in relying on greedy developers to deliver actual public benefits‼️ This is textbook #displacement stuff. The ‘affordable’ MIH units promised do *not* cancel out the impact of speculation, tenant harassment, and evictions that would take place in the surrounding area aka Chinatown. This is well-documented! (see @cuffh report on Bloomberg-era rezonings correlated with census data) 🆘As shiny new ‘affordability’ is dangled with one hand, the other hand demolishes the remaining affordable homes in Soho (many long-time residents who are lower-middle class artists and older in age). #DeBlasio says: since communities of color have been targeted for pro-developer rezonings, white communities like SoHo/NoHo should "share the burden.” Don’t let @nycmayor and his developer cronies justify an agenda of “equality in displacement.” Did we already whittle down our expectations so far that a compromise sounds like: we all can get screwed equally? Unlike the #YIMBYs, we canvass and organize with the most vulnerable people in the community to come up with real solutions for housing. If you are committed to anti-racism, you will help us advocate for #communityled plans that limit #realestatespeculation and call for more #lowincomehousing, like the #ChinatownWorkingGroup Rezoning Plan and 👉SoHo/NoHo’s alternative plan. Sell-out non-profits, think tank YIMBYs, #marketurbanists, and bike-lane-obsessed reply-guys: if you are genuinely against racism, call out de Blasio's racism and take a stand against his displacement agenda instead of helping him divide communities. Keep your eyes on the common grounds & united, we will win. #elpueblounidojamasseravencido #stopracistrezonings #stopdisplacement #letuslive #juntos
