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.

Protest against MAGA billionaire Stephen Ross to save NYCHA from RAD/PACT privatisation and demolition

Protest against The Related Companies to save NYCHA from RAD/PACT privatisation and demolition.

Stephen Ross wants to enlarge his Hudson Yards plantation from West 36th Street down to West 16th Street. We say no !

NYCHA public housing tenants and Fight For NYCHA activists protested outside of 30 Hudson Yards, the headquarters for The Related Companies, the real estate development company that built Hudson Yards. Related is the big money behind the RAD/PACT Landlord that is seeking to profit from the privatisation and demolition of Fulton Houses and Elliott-Chelsea. The protesters alleged that the RAD/PACT scheme was tantamount to a naked land-grab.

Democrats supporting the upward transfer of wealth from a cash-strapped NYCHA to a MAGA billionaire make them the foremen on Stephen Ross’s plantation

During our protest, we alleged that the employees of Hudson Yards were Stephen Ross’ plantation workers. That didn’t sit right with some of the security guards monitoring our protest.

Democrats are duplicitously conspiring with MAGA billionaire Stephen Ross to sell-out NYCHA. We noted that senior citizens were amongst those first at-risk of eviction in order for Related to begin the demolition of public housing. The mainly White residents, employees, and patrons of Hudson Yards were, of course, indifferent to the looming evictions of public housing residents, 90 per cent. of whom are minorities. The other 10 per cent. are Whites living on low- or fixed-incomes. Racism means that Whites don’t care about disparate impact discrimination faced by minorities, because the Whites enjoy White privilege.

The RAD/PACT privatisation and demolition of public housing in Chelsea is premised on every single resident being displaced. This displacement is taking place amongst a housing crisis and based on the belief that Stephen Ross will take the public housing residents back, once he has built new apartment buildings. You’d have to still believe in the tooth fairy to trust that the richest plantation owner in Manhattan is going to let minorities move into the new mansions he’s putting up on his property. To wit, there is no Federal right-of-return for tenants, whose public housing apartments are demolished.

During our protest, many workers exiting and entering 30 Hudson Yards appeared inconvenienced by our presence, but they appeared to have heard our message.
