Part of the budget hold up is a Governor Kathy Hochul proposal to increase retail theft penalties. What most people don’t know, is she is simultaneously gutting penalties on employers who don’t pay their manual workers on time.

Assembly member NYS Assembly Member Amy Paulin and our Theo Oshiro 🦋 write for EMPIRE REPORT on the urgency to pass #Coverage4All this year. empirereportnewyork.com/new-york-state…

thought this might be about the housing deal

This is a slap in the face to tenants.

This would be the weakest #GoodCause in the country, denying hundreds of thousands of renters basic protections from predatory landlords.

Governor Kathy Hochul, Sen. Stewart-Cousins, and Carl E. Heastie: this is a giveaway to real estate.

Turns out you should definitely *NOT* put eye drops that you found in the back of your desk and expired in 2014 in your eye.

.NYC Progressive Caucus say no to weakening rent stabilization and watering down #GoodCause legislation! Let's heed the urgent call of our city's tenants and pass a robust Good Cause Eviction bill—because housing stability is a right, not a privilege.

The housing access voucher program is not just about helping people pay the rent, it is also a critical tool in the fight against domestic violence. Governor Kathy Hochul read about how rental assistance can save lives, then put #HAVP in the budget

Amidst an affordable housing crisis, it’s unconscionable that the real estate lobby wants to drastically alter IAI regulations which would increase rents & displace tenants.
We must uphold our rent stabilization laws & pass a strong, statewide Good Cause Eviction law.

Safe, affordable housing is the top need of clients across our programs. Housing is key to the safety & healing of #DomesticViolence  survivors, Runaway and Homeless Youth, and crime victims. We urge Governor Kathy Hochul & the Legislature to ensure #HousingJustice  in this budget. 1/

Open Hearts stands in solidarity w Housing Justice For All, unhoused neighbors, and millions of tenants across NY calling for a fair & just housing package. Any deal that guts #GoodCause , rolls back rent stabilization & omits HAVP is unacceptable. Hard working families deserve better.

Real estate greed is driving inflation.

There’s only one solution right now that would make New York rents more affordable: #GoodCause .

Undoing the 2019 rent regulation reforms would inevitably lead to increased housing costs, evictions, tenant harassment, and homelessness. We are in office to create more affordable housing and protect families and communities, not the opposite.

Thank you NYS Senator Samra Brouk for standing with your constituents on statewide #GoodCause ! All tenant deserve to be protected!!

Now 40 (!) state lawmakers have spoken out:

Senator Jose M. Serrano: “New York is facing a housing crisis and it is more important than ever to uphold the landmark tenant protections from the HSTPA of 2019 without sacrificing tenant stabilization efforts.'

In the fight for housing justice, rolling back protections against unjust rent increases is a step in the wrong direction. I stand w/ tenants in calling for the passage of strong, statewide Good Cause Eviction & for resisting changes to IAIs that would displace hardworking NYers.
