N.Y.C. Rent Board Approves 3% Increase, Rejecting Calls for Freeze
βWe outnumber them, and we have already shown we can out-organize them,β @ceaweaver.bsky.social said. βCome November, we will elect Zohran Mamdani and win the rent freeze tenants so desperately need.β www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/n...

Just arrived home from the endorsement meeting, and these are my thoughts:
@socialists.nyc is the only organization capable of producing a candidate like Zohran.
@nywfp.bsky.social is the only organization capable of cohering the organized Left.
I'm very proud of both of my orgs.
Let's win this.

Should you get a smaller rent increase under Good Cause? A new tool helps you figure it out
Find out if you're entitled to a lower rent hike.
A new way to figure out if you're entitled to a lower rent increase this year just dropped.
I spoke with @ceaweaver.bsky.social about this Good Cause Eviction caclculator from Housing Justice for All and JustFix last week.

I am so proud to receive the endorsement of the @tenantbloc.bsky.social.
With the power of our city's tenant majority, we're going to freeze the rent and win a city we can afford.

Every New Yorker deserves a safe, healthy and affordable place to call home. Winning that city is at the center of this campaign.
It was a privilege to sit down with @tenantbloc.bsky.social organizers last month to talk about our vision for renters.

There are lots of things the mayor CANT do on housing, but freezing the rent is one of the only things they can unilaterally do for 2.4 million New York renters. Policy plans are great, so is a rent freeze

Zohran for NYC Mayor's field launch (Jan 25, 2025)
As someone who's been doing electoral work since 2008, I can tell you that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's mayoral field game is the best I've seen yet, including even John Liu 2013.
The Left must be ready to rank several candidates, but Zohran is most definitely a contender.
