Protest against Eric Adams at Brooklyn Borough Hall on Monday

Join us as we protest NYC Democratic Party mayoral nominee Eric Adams on Thursday !

Is Eric Adams going to keep on selling-out NYCHA like Mayor Bill de Blasio ? It sure looks like it !

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams (D-Brooklyn) has really started vacuum sucking donations from the rich and powerful for his general election campaign for New York City mayor. He’s done the Hamptons, at the same time he is ignoring the ongoing and continuing threat of RAD/PACT conversions by Mayor Bill de Blasio (WFP-New York City) of NYCHA public housing and the possible return of the Blueprint. This is unacceptable and an early indication that Eric Adams risks abdicating land use policy to wealthy donors, not unlike Mayor de Blasio.

We can’t let that happen !

Protest on 34th Street, hoping for a miracle this Holiday Season to stop RAD conversions of NYCHA public housing

Banner protest in front of Macy’s Herald Square flagship store

Activists trying to save public housing from privatisation protested in front of Macy’s flagship store in Herald Square in Manhattan on Sunday afternoon. Using a bullhorn, the activists announced that Mayor Bill de Blasio (WFP-New York City) was planning on ending public housing as we know it. One of the activists speaking was a resident of a public housing apartment building, which faced privatisation on 30 November 2020, when her building would join 15 other complexes in a privatisation scheme known as Rental Assistance Demonstration, or RAD. The activists described some of the dangers and risks of eviction, rent hikes, and other forms of civil rights violations typical of privatisation schemes. One previously unknown risk includes the ability of a RAD Landlord to petition the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to deregulate public housing apartments, should apartment buildings not generate enough profits for greedy, private-sector landlords, as was revealed in a press release issued the Fight For NYCHA.
