Juneteenth protest against RAD/PACT/MAGA supporter Allen Roskoff

Fight For NYCHA protest against Allen Roskoff on Juneteenth

We take our protests to where they need to be, and, on Juneteenth, we were forced to show up outside of Allen Roskoff’s luxury condo.

Public housing residents and Fight For NYCHA activists protested outside of the lobby to the luxury condominium tower at 450 West 17th Street in Chelsea, where Democratic Party operative Allen Roskoff lives. The building was built by The Related Companies, the real estate development company that built Hudson Yards and is now seeking to take control over and demolish all of the public housing in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.

Democrats want to make New York City more White. To do this, they are seeking to displace public housing residents through demolition.

Allen Roskoff was quoted in the New York Post, supporting the RAD/PACT privatisation and demolition of NYCHA public housing to benefit MAGA billionaire Stephen Ross. Allen’s support is one of the main reasons why politicians, like Erik Bottcher, Tony Simone, and Brad Hoylman, also support RAD/PACT.

Democrats have apparently become plantation workers for Stephen Ross, and they’re trying to help him enlarge his plantation from Hudson Yards down to West 16th Street. We showed up outside of Allen Roskoff’s luxury condo to call him out !

After our protest, Allen Roskoff called, in a state of worry.

Following our protest, Allen Roskoff reached out by telephone to two members of Fight For NYCHA. Shockingly, he admitted that he heard us use the bullhorn from his apartment in one of the upper floors. Most importantly, he said he would be willing to write a letter to bring this controversy to an end.

Social media influencer Christopher Leon Johnson covered our protest, and he shared a complete video of our protest on X.

When did Allen Roskoff become a MAGA foreman on Stephen Ross’ Hudson Yards plantation ?

RAD/PACT is racist. Is that why Allen Roskoff supports it ?

Allen Roskoff markets himself as the doyenne of LGBT progressive activism in New York City. He is the president of the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club in Manhattan. As a result, he bundles donations to establishment candidates, like Councilmember Erik Bottcher (D-District 3) and hosts fundraisers attended by the corporate wing of the Democratic Party, like Gov. Kathleen Hochul.

However, in a recent report published by the New York Post, Roskoff said that he supported the controversial RAD/PACT privatisation and demolition of NYCHA public housing in Chelsea. The report noted that rich White ladies living in million-dollar condos were ostensibly claiming to oppose the demolition due to inconveniences to the wealth residents of uppity Chelsea. But that’s not the whole story, obviously.

Like the late Ed Koch before him, Allen Roskoff lives in a luxury condo built by one of REBNY’s most powerful plantation owners.

Allen Roskoff has made is mark in New York political circles by claiming that he never forgave former Mayor Ed Koch (D-New York City) over the reported failure to respond to the outbreak of the AIDS crisis. Former Mayor Koch, now dead, reportedly lived his life as a closted gay man until his death.

During his final years, former Mayor Koch lived in a luxury condominium apartment at 2 Fifth Avenue, a luxury building overlooking Washington Square Park. The apartment was rented from the Rudin family, now lead by William Rudin, one of the oligarchs of New York. When it came time for the Rudin family to reportedly begin foreclosure proceedings against St. Vincent’s Hospital and the ensuing lobbying effort to close and demolish the strategic, public asset, the former mayor supported the Rudin family’s interests.

Fast-forward through all of the drama, we come to learn that Allen Roskoff has lived, since at least 2009, in a luxury condominium built by The Related Companies, which is owned by Stephen Ross, a MAGA billionaire and the plantation owner of Hudson Yards. Stephen Ross is also the owner of a range of corporations, including the Miami Dolphins football franchise, making him another of New York’s oligarchs.

For all of Allen Roskoff’s propaganda as a progressive activist, we can see clearly that he’s following in the footsteps of former Mayor Koch by his endorsement of the RAD/PACT privatisation and demolition of Fulton Houses and Elliott-Chelsea to benefit Stephen Ross. It harks back to how Ed Koch did the same for William Rudin vis-à-vis the demolition and luxury condo conversion of St. Vincent’s.

The oligarchs of New York have learned how easy it is to buy and boss the leaders, closeted or not, of New York’s LGBT community. The losers have turned out to be the people, who depended on St. Vincent’s as a charity hospital and on NYCHA for Government-owned, low-cost housing. The racial minorities and the disenfranchised suffered, even as Ed Koch and Allen Roskoff rose to eminent positions of proverbial foremen on the plantations of some of New York’s richest, White families.
