Housing Rally! Wednesday! March 10! 11AM! City Hall Steps!

Not a whole lot left to add on this post after the title, but yeah, tomorrow morning at 11am, everyone should head to the steps of City Hall to join in on a rally for affordable housing. This one features City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and is a mobilization before some big votes coming up in Albany on the city's rent laws. I have attached the email with all of the details below, hope that NYC people can make it out even if just for a few minutes.

We will rally on the steps of City Hall with City Council Speaker Christine Quinn:

TOMORROW
Wednesday, March 11

11:00 am

City Hall – on the Steps

Lower Manhattan

The New York City Council must vote to renew the city rent control law and city rent stabilization law before they expire at the end of the month. The Council will also introduce home rule messages calling on the State Legislature to repeal vacancy decontrol, and to repeal the Urstadt Law, which since 1971 has prevented the Council from exercising any real control over our own local rent and eviction protection laws.

Chris Quinn has been an exceptional advocate for our cause. She began her professional career as a housing rights organizer, and has always been right there for us in our fight to protect tenants and preserve affordable housing. Last year she led a tenant delegation to Albany to lobby the State Legislature for stronger rent laws.

We need YOU – and your friends, neighbors and members – to show up tomorrow at 11:00 am to help us send a loud and clear message to Albany:

REPEAL VACANCY DECONTROL, AND RESTORE HOME RULE POWERS OVER OUR OWN RENT LAWS TO THE CITY COUNCIL!

Bring posters. Bring your organization’s banner.
