Of her piece “The United States of Attica,” the late great Faith Ringgold said, “This map of American violence is incomplete – please write in whatever you find lacking.”

NEW YORK: On Wednesday, April 17, we will hold a rally in Union Square at 6:30pm for Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, a commemoration of the thousands of Palestinians that have been kidnapped and forced behind the bars of Zionist detention centers

NEW: Legal Defense Fund calls on state leaders to pass #GoodCause — as written.

“Legislators may propose a weaker version of the bill…We strongly oppose these changes to the bills – all New Yorkers deserve protection from unfair evictions.”

Our Advocacy Partner Of The Year Award goes to Release Aging People in Prison Campaign! From Advocacy Days in Albany to community events, RAPP continues to do so much for the justice-impacted community including tireless advocacy to #FreeOurElders . Let’s keep fighting the good fight, together.

This #GoodCause in name only -- 0 tenants upstate will get protections, tens of thousands NYC tenants excluded, and rent stabilized tenants will get a target on their backs.

Here's who wants tenant protections in the budget:
Legal Defense Fund
1199SEIU💫
RWDSU
Rep. Nydia Velazquez
Jumaane Williams
Brad Lander

Here's who doesn't:
Governor Kathy Hochul

NOW: While officers were preoccupied dealing with those arrested, pro-Palestine protesters rushed into the street and into the tunnel to Grand Central before the bike squad could block the entrance

Here at Herald sq West 34th st Broadway

BREAKING: On third day of Eid, the NYPD targeted, brutalized & arrested members of the Muslim community tonight protesting the ongoing genocide in Gaza including WOL Chair Nerdeen Kiswani. The march pushed forward, ending outside the United Nations. Jail support is now mobilizing…

This, also: Black mothers are at the *highest risk* of eviction, per advocates + the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (link abajo).

The time to pass Good Cause (that *isn't* watered down) + #HAVP (both houses continue to uplift in the budget) was years ago.

That's unconscionable

Parole Justice Advocacy Day!

On May 7, get on the bus to NY's Capitol for a POWERFUL day of advocacy + community-building to celebrate the work of formerly incarcerated people to improve community safety & bring home more leaders.

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.
