“This is generational wealth!” 🔥🔥 Last week CASA tenant leader and NYS Tenant Bloc Rent Freeze campaign co-chair Joanne Grell (Joanne Toro-Grell) joined Mornings with Mero (Mornings with Mero) to highlight how rent stabilization allowed her to raise her family in the city. Rent stabilization keeps NYC diverse and affordable and provides the foundation for tenants who built this city to stay and thrive!

Did you catch CASA Tenant Leader and Rent Freeze Co-Chair Joanne Toro-Grell on Mornings with Mero yesterday? 🔥🔥Joanne broke down what this rent freeze means for tenants in NYC and also talked about what’s next for the tenant movement. As a rent stabilized tenant in the Bronx, Joanne knows firsthand how a rent freeze will give tenants the breathing room they deserve! Watch the full interview at the link in our bio.

We organized. We won. Starting today, 2.4 million tenants across the city will have the stability they deserve as the historic rent freeze goes into effect. This win was the result of years of organizing across the city by tenants who dared to make a bold demand a reality. When we work together to build a powerful movement, we can no longer be ignored. Tenants run this city.

We have a chance to win yet another victory for working people: a rent freeze for 2.4 million rent stabilized tenants. Then out tomorrow to the Rent Guidelines Bosrd final vote and let’s make this a SWEEP!

Tenants run NYC, and we can make it run for us. The Mayor’s Housing Plan gives us new resources — $2.2 Billion for preservation — and new tools — like expanded rights to rent strike — but it’s up to us to organize our buildings and make this plan work for us. Landlords’ days are numbered; tenants are the majority. Join us!

With tenants and City Hall working together, we will put the worst landlords out of business, and win both affordable and dignified homes for working people. Tenant Bloc and Housing Justice for All Director Sumathy Kumar spoke today at Mayor Mamdani’s Housing Plan announcement.

If your business model only works by making housing more expensive and tenants more miserable, you should not be in business in New York! No more will our city stand for landlords who bet on harassment and displacement.… From our homes to the halls of power, we need strength in numbers to win. As tenants in New York City, the numbers are on our side. Tenants are 70% of this city. And with city hall, we will organize to usher in a new era that puts us, tenants, at the center of the city we run. We start today, let’s go.

2019 was just the beginning. We need the REST Act to ensure that rent stabilization becomes a reality across the state. Right now landlord lawsuits make it difficult for localities to pass rent stabilization. The REST Act would make it easier for cities to opt in, giving rent burdened tenants upstate access to tenant protections. Click the link in our bio and tell your legislators that tenants need REST.
