Housing justice can’t wait. We need real protections now!
Tenants from across New York state showed up and made their voices heard. We're calling on lawmakers to pass the REST Act that would give upstate cities the power to stabilize rent.
Time is running out! Reach out to your representatives and urge them to pass the REST Act before June 4th. Click the link in the bio: @forthemany

Huge thank you to everyone who showed up for our May Day events at Washington Park and the Albany Free School ❤️
We came together as a community to celebrate workers’ rights, collective care, and community power. From sharing food to sharing space, this is what solidarity looks like in action.
We’re deeply grateful to all of our community partners who helped make this day possible. Special thanks to @saratogablm for the recap videos and photos.
