Legacy of Care, A Portrait Series

Join us for the exhibition of Legacy of Care, A Portrait Series in New York City hosted by none other than esteemed art curator Mashonda Tifrere! The series champions the legacies of power, resilience, agency, and care embodied by domestic workers of the past and present, and passed down to future generations. Together, we will celebrate the stories and efforts of the women who resisted, and persisted to make this world one in which we can live, rest, and thrive with dignity.

Doors open at 6, and upon entering, guests can help themselves to light refreshments before and after a short program while enjoying DJ Wemi Mo’s set.

We need elected officials to refuse to support harmful federal efforts designed to hurt our people. This is not just about rejecting policies but about offering real, tangible solutions to the issues that working-class New Yorkers face daily, like the Unemployment Bridge Program (UBP) — common-sense legislation that would provide crucial security for 750,000 freelancers, self-employed workers, formerly incarcerated people and others who are excluded from traditional unemployment benefits. Many of these workers are the most vulnerable in our economy, particularly those from Black and brown communities and those in precarious industries.

CGNA member meetings are spaces where we connect with other domestic workers, share resources, and continue building towards our vision of raising standards and dignity in the domestic work industry! Meetings are in English and Spanish.

Las reuniones de miembrxs de CGNA son espacios donde nos conectamos con otras trabajadoras del hogar, compartimos recursos y continuamos construyendo hacia nuestra visión de elevar los estándares y la dignidad en la industria del trabajo doméstico! Las reuniones son en inglés y español.

There’s so much at stake this election season, and tensions are running high. Though we likely won’t know the full results until a while after election day, what we DO know is that our NDWA community is strong. No matter what, we’ll keep on working toward our vision of good jobs and a democracy that works for us all.

Join us on Zoom for two meetings where we’ll get grounded as a community and learn what the election results mean for domestic workers and our communities.

We’ll take a big breath together after election day! We’ll share our assessment and our feelings about what we know so far. This call will be a space for us to get grounded in our strength – both individually and collectively.

Hay mucho en juego en esta temporada electoral y las tensiones están aumentando. Aunque probablemente no sepamos los resultados completos hasta un tiempo después del día de las elecciones, lo que SÍ sabemos es que nuestra comunidad de la ANTH es fuerte. Pase lo que pase, seguiremos trabajando para lograr nuestra visión de trabajos buenos y una democracia que funcione para todos. Únase a nosotros en Zoom para dos reuniones de nuestra comunidad donde podremos sentir nuestra fuerza colectiva y aprenderemos qué significan los resultados de las elecciones para las trabajadoras del hogar y nuestras comunidades.

Tomaremos un gran respiro juntos después del día de las elecciones. Compartiremos nuestra evaluación y nuestros sentimientos sobre lo que sabemos de los resultados hasta ahora. Esta llamada será un espacio para sentir nuestra fuerza, tanto individual como colectivamente.

Cómo desarrollaremos nuestro poder después de las elecciones

Elected Officials and Tenants Rally to Demand Landlord Sell Building to Tenants

Tenants Call for Passage of Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act and Community Opportunity to Purchase Act to Help Them Buy Building

Tenants At 63 Tiffany Pl. Will Be Priced Out of New York City Unless Landlord Sells to Tenants or Nonprofit

Photos and Videos of Event Available Here

BROOKLYN, NY – In a bold move to prevent displacement and preserve affordable housing, tenants at 63 Tiffany Place, joined by a coalition of state and city elected officials, called on landlord Irving Langer of Lawrence, NY to sell the building to tenants or a nonprofit during a rally outside the building today. 

The building’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) agreement, which has kept rents affordable for nearly three decades, is set to expire next year. Without action, the expiration threatens to send rents soaring to market rates, forcing out long-term residents and undermining community stability.

Tenants and officials also called for the passage of the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA) at the state level and the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) at the city level. These measures would give tenants and nonprofits the first right to purchase residential buildings when they go up for sale. Similar policies in Washington D.C. and San Francisco have proven effective at preserving affordable housing, reducing displacement, and providing tenants with greater control over their homes.

Elected officials representing 63 Tiffany Place, including U.S. Representative Dan Goldmam, State Senator Andrew Gounardes, State Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, and New York City Councilmember Shahana Hanif, also sent a letter to Irving Lawrence calling on him to re-engage in negotiations with the tenants.

Elected officials at the rally included New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, State Senator Zellnor Myrie (Senate sponsor of TOPA), Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon, Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes (Assembly sponsor of TOPA), Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, Councilmember Shahana Hanif, and Councilmember Alexa Avilés. The tenants, members of the Southwest Brooklyn Tenants Union, were also supported by Housing Justice for All, the New Economy Project, New York Community Land Initiative, and Carroll Gardens Association.

TOPA and COPA would not only allow tenants to secure their homes but also empower local nonprofits to maintain affordable housing in rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods. For tenants at 63 Tiffany Place, these laws could mean the difference between staying in their homes and being priced out of New York City entirely.

With an increase in scams we know its more important than ever to learn how to protect yourself and your information! Join us and our partners at the NYC Department of Consumer + Worker Protection Wednesday October 30th 7:30pm online for a Scam Prevention Workshop.
