Join us on April 9th for a meeting hosted by Assemblymember Sarahana Shrestha's office to learn about what tenants can do to fight back! In 2019, the statewide tenant movement won the right for upstate municipalities to adopt the same strong rent stabilization laws downstate tenants have had for over half a century. But for the past 7 years, landlords—funded by big real estate—have sued and harassed city after city, using the courts and technicalities in the law to overturn rent stabilization and jack up rents on upstate tenants. To this day, Kingston is the only upstate city that has managed to keep rent stabilization in place, and now Kingston is being sued yet again! That's why we're fighting to pass the REST Act THIS YEAR in Albany. The REST Act will simplify the process of adopting rent stabilization, ensuring we can keep it in Kingston, and protecting other towns and cities that opt in from legal harassment. It will also give cities the right to cover many more tenants than the law currently allows. TENANTS DESERVE REST! Come learn about the fight to pass it this year and how you can help.

If an event has a ⭐ in front of its name, that means it is a good fit for first-timers! ⭐️ ICE Out: End Orange County's Contract with ICE!

The county executive, with the support of the Orange County legislature, must end the contract between ICE and the Orange County jail NOW. Locking up human beings because of the color of their skin or the language they speak is no way to balance a county budget, and we do not want it done in our names. Since 2008 County Executive Neuhaus has rolled out the red carpet for ICE, and ICE has taken every advantage of the warm welcome by detaining and deporting our neighbors and family members. We came together as a community to oppose a new detention center in Chester and we showed what we can do when we join our voices. The detention of our neighbors in the Orange County jail is no more acceptable to us than a new detention center would be. Bring your friends and neighbors, your signs and your voice!
